Itinerary:

Calgarians. They've become just about as bad as Torontonians, really. I mean, how many "centres of the universe" does one country need??

And what about that silly tower that they're so proud of? Think they might be *ahem* "compensating" for something?

This year let's help Calgary's image out by making that silly tower a bit more appealing.

Wear your dark clothing and balaclava and try to look inconspicuous. Especially if you're carrying the scaffolding or lonnnnnng-handled paint roller. Maybe wear a cowboy hat to blend in!

After we're done, if we need a nap, COC volunteer, Marg M, has graciously offered to billet every one of us at her home! Yay Marg!

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $174.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Monday, April 28, 2025). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
