Itinerary:

A Day at the Beach!

Come enjoy the Alberta sun on one of the nicest beaches around! Bring your floaty toys and mattresses, beach blankets/ chairs, sand castle building materials (should we perhaps have a contest?) and picnic lunch. There are plenty of greasy spoon/ ice cream places to eat if you can't be bothered with the picnic lunch.
Park and find a spot of beach you think will be large enough for the group. Send a deputy to the muster point at 10 am: the muster point is More Moo, which is the first ice cream joint you will see as you head into town. Meet at the big cow in the front. Here, we will decide who has garnered the primo spot and we will all move there. If by some chance you miss the meeting, we will send a second deputy to the cow at noon for an ice cream run and straggler pickup. They will be the weirdo patting the cow.

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $42.92 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Thursday, November 21, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
