Plenty of on-site parking.
Ever flipped through magazines and find yourself eyeing pictures of the Canadian Arctic wondering what it’s actually like to be there? Curious what is involved with travelling to and trekking across one of the most remote National Parks in Canada? Then come to the February Meeting! Learn how Matt and Bryan met in the Bow Hut and over drinks planned the trip of a lifetime to Akshayuk Pass on Baffin Island, home to the famous Mount Thor. You’ll hear grand stories of the journey through way too much arctic bog, way too many mosquitoes, and far too many good memories and photos to share in one night. For the curious folk planning a trip of a similar nature, the presentation will also include logistical details on how the fast friends pulled off their adventure, how they planned and prepared, and what supplies they brought (and wish they’d brought) as well as Matt’s frustration with Bryan’s crippling addiction to packing dehydrated potatoes. Hopefully by the end you’ll agree that the extra pack weight of the DSLR was well worth the impressive shots of this serene landscape!
We will be testing out a new format, which will be an amalgamation of regular monthly meeting and Pub night - with a twist: BYOB. Please come to enjoy the presentation, and take time afterwards to mingle, chat, share beta and trip plans with members and guests. Note: please bring the receipts for the alcohol you will be consuming. Please do not drink and drive, and plan to make transportation arrangements should you consume enough that you cannot safely or legally drive.
