Please read all details in
red
below and and event details,
including all Covid-19 group precautions before
signing up! All activities are being offered in
full compliance with current provincial and
federal COVID standards (links below for more
information).
We will be hiking in
staggered groups
of four. At times we will be two abreast (box
shape with 6 feet or more apart), and other times
we will need to be distanced while in single file
and step off the trail or pathway briefly to let
others pass safely.
-----
**Please note:
- This will be a moderately paced walk of
4.5-5km/hr.
- This event will be weather dependent, please
check the EOC calendar and your email for any
updates.
- To find me, I’ll be wearing a royal blue
baseball cap and stood next to a blue Hyundai.
About this walk: ~10-11km
We will head east towards the Highland Golf
Course then
cross the bridge to Capilano Park and head back
west
towards Wayne Gretzky Drive, then pass the
Riverside Golf
Course to Dawson Bridge and back to Dawson
Park.
Just to let you know that there are a few hills
on this walk
and will be on paved and gravel paths.

**There are
important ways to protect yourself and others
from
Coronavirus, the most essential being to sanitize
your hands frequently. We request that you
**bring
your own hand sanitizer** with you on the event.
For
all who choose to enjoy an
EOC activity we require participants to follow
all
Federal and Provincial rules in regards to Covid-
19, and the 2 meters/ 6 feet of social distancing
from all club members and the public while on the
trails and in public spaces. ** Our activities
are
outdoors in uncrowded spaces
where cross-contamination is considered lower
risk, but strict precautions still need to be
followed. click for more information and
to learn more.
Additional
requirements:
1. Create social space. Avoid greeting each other
where there is the potential for skin-to- skin
contact, such as hugs or handshakes or high-
fives.
. When in doubt, share a friendly wave
and 'hello'. Blow your nose, cough, sneeze, or
clear your airway at least 2 metres away from
others. Don't use clothing to wipe. Wear a mask
in
public places to help limit the risk of spread to
others if you will be within 2 metres of people
other than members of your own household.
**The government has indicated that masks may
help, but the evidence is inconclusive.
Therefore, we are leaving it to the discretion of
participants to choose whether you'd like to wear
masks. Be aware that this is not a requirement
so
you must be comfortable with others potentially
not wearing masks.
2. Are you in a high- risk category? Consider
self-
isolating if you are in a category with an
immunocompromised system. Consultations with
respiratory therapists indicate that individuals
who suffer from asthma should exercise the same
level of care they would exercise with other
viruses. Alberta's Chief Medical Officer has
stated individuals over 60, or anybody with pre-
existing medical conditions are at increased risk
of complications from Coronvirus (COVID-19).
3. Are you feeling unwell? Are you feeling
unwell?
If you have a cough or flu-like symptoms, you
must
stay home, and should consider
getting yourself tested by calling 8-1-1. Also
the
Alberta government states if you have symptoms
including fever, cough, shortness of breath,
difficulty breathing, sore throat or runny nose,
you MUST self-isolate for 10 days after the onset
of symptoms and until your symptoms have resolved
(whichever is longer). *If you are in mandatory
self-isolation you can not legally go outside for
a walk through your neighbourhood or park.
4.
Your EOC event hosts are volunteers. Participants
are responsible for assessing the current road
conditions, current weather conditions, their
current physical condition, current trail
conditions, and are responsible for their own
safety and well-being.
5. Please no sharing of food and drinks; as well
no carpooling.
6. Further important considerations:
The province has encouraged outdoor
activities
with physical distancing. Studies have shown the
benefits of outdoor activity for staying healthy.
Therefore, we are offering organized activities
to
support your best health and well-being.
The province is permitting groups of up to 15
participants to gather with physical distancing.
Therefore, we have capped all events
to help reduce overall group size.
The province requires that you be healthy to
attend events. Therefore, the event organizer
will exercise their discretion to send a
participant home if they display symptoms of
illness.
The government continues to recommend six
feet
of physical distancing. Therefore, the lead
will
be enforcing this distancing throughout the hike.
Anyone who is not acting in accordance with this
requirement will be warned once. If non-
compliance continues, they will be asked to leave
the activity.
**Please respect each other’s space. We all
have our own opinions on COVID-19 and need to
understand that we may not agree but must respect
each other’s space with the required social
distancing of all people in public spaces.
