About this Event
Overview
The HBMBA team is excited to host another event from the '24 Season Series. This will be our second Community Dig Day at Christie Lake. In this hands-on dig day, participants will be introduced to tools of the trade, learn about safety, and help keep the trail work moving.
Who Can Join Us
No experience is required and all HBMBA members are welcome. Non-members may attend one trail build day but must become a member in order to attend additional build days due to the HBMBA’s insurance and liability policy.
Participants must be 18+. If you have younger family members keen to join us, please reach out to [email protected] and we will do our best to accommodate.
Meeting Place
Mountain bike parking lot at Christie Lake Conservation Authority (the west-most parking lot, follow signage).
Accessing Christie Lake Conservation Authority
