Itinerary:

**To register, you must first add your name to the waitlist then answer the "EOC COVID Pre-Attendance Questionnaire" which will be sent by me the day before the event starts. Once you receive and reply to the questionnaire, I will then add you to the event from the waitlist in the order I receive the responses not the order of the waitlist. I will be adding max 7 others to this event.

**NOTE: Please read all details in red below 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 (see links below for more info). We will be hiking in staggered groups of four abreast (box shape with 6 feet or more apart). At times we will need to be distanced while in single file and step off the trail or pathway briefly to let others pass safely.

**We will be enforcing social distancing throughout the hike. Anyone who is not acting in accordance with COVID safety requirements will be warned once. If non- compliance continues, they will be asked to leave the activity!

**Please note:
- I am only going to have 8 people max including myself on this event.
- This will be a moderately paced walk of ~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: ~10-12km
For a change of scenery, I would like to hike along the path in St. Albert that follows alongside the Sturgeon River.

We will begin our hike at Lions Park which is located just west of downtown in St. Albert. We will then work our way west along the Sturgeon River heading towards Lois Hole Provincial Park before turning back then heading east for a bit then back to the parking lot.

**RE: COVID-19 PROTOCOLS: We will practice being socially distanced (6 feet / 2 meters apart) while participating on this event and step off the trail / path briefly to let others pass safely.

Additional requirements:
1. Create social space.
• Avoid skin-to-skin contact such as hugs, handshakes, or high-fives - just share a friendly wave and 'hello'.
• Blow your nose, cough, sneeze, or clear your airway at least 2m away from others.
• Wear a mask in public places to help limit the risk of spread to others if you will be within 2m of people.
**The government has indicated that masks may help. Therefore, we are leaving it to the discretion of participants to choose whether you'd like to wear masks.

2. Are you feeling unwell?
If you have a cough or flu-like symptoms, stay home and consider getting yourself tested by calling 8-1-1. 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).
