EVENT DETAILS
______________________________
LOCATION: Scout Island
DATE: 6 Oct 2024 (Sun)
TIME: Prep 4-5pm (or earlier, if you need more time) and launch @ 5pm
HOW: Wear all black and witch hats or warlock attire + bring your paddle board, kayak, or canoe gear
COST: This is a free event with no registration
SAFETY EQUIPMENT: All paddlers MUST have a whistle and PFD. Please WEAR your PFD -- having a PFD on your watercraft but not on you isn't helpful when you fall in and your watercraft blows away and you should still wear it if you're a good swimmer. This safety equipment is required by Transport Canada and you can be fined up to $500 for not having it. Please also wear clothing appropriate for the weather conditions and dress for the water temperature -- you might say you won't fall in, but what if you do?

COSTUME TIPS
______________________________
- Secure your hat with a chin strap or pins, otherwise it’ll blow off your head as you paddle
- Ensure your costume doesn't interfere with your paddling or cause any tripping hazards
- Don't wear cotton or thick wool: cotton will stay wet/cold, while wool will be heavy if it gets wet; jeans are made of cotton - please don't wear them on the water
