Agenda:

1 - We are headed to Nose Hill at 9 am tomorrow. Thank you to all the volunteers for making this possible. 

We have spoken to the students about proper dress attire for tomorrow morning - they need to layer warm clothes, wear a toque, mitts or gloves. There will be some snow and ice on some of the trails so students need to wear proper boots or shoes with good grips. 

The hike will take us to the top of Nose Hill. Students need to be prepared with a water bottle and extra snacks. 

Nose Hill is the 6th largest urban park in Canada (Fish Creek is the 5th largest urban park in Canada). We will hike to the top of Nose Hill. At this point we will be able to see a panoramic view of Calgary.
