You will receive a confirmation email. If you haven’t received confirmation by Monday night, contact Anne to confirm you’re on the list.

If you change your mind, or are unable to make it, please let Anne know asap as this will affect the number of canoes required, partners. etc.

Most of the cars will be parked outside the Conservation Area (to save the park fee.) There is adequate parking, but carpooling is encouraged.
You will have to walk from the ‘take-out’ to the parking lot as only the towing vehicle will be at the ‘take-out’.
If you choose to park there, the cost is $6.75.
If anyone has a pass for the Grand River Conservation Area, let Anne know.

Please check your email the morning of the trip in case of cancellation.
