Alberta Parks and the Friends of Kananaskis Country are excited to invite the public to Winter Safety Day. This year, the event will take place in a new location at Canoe Meadows in Kananaskis. This annual event hosts fun, family friendly activities including safety demonstrations, a BBQ, fire-pit, and a visit from Java the avalanche safety dog! In addition to information on how to safely navigate avalanche country, the day will also offer opportunities to understand wildlife safety and winter ecology, suggest proper equipment and gear to play outdoors in winter, learn about emergency winter survival and shelters, and discuss activities including wild ice-skating safety, groomed trail etiquette, and much, much more. Whether you are a winter hiker, scrambler, skater, cross-country or backcountry skier, or snowshoer, you’ll get something out of this day!
