• Check the weather forecast and dress appropriately! See our winter clothing tips below.
• Bring at least two bottles of water: you can leave one in your vehicle on a short hike; you’ll want both on a long hike.
• Snacks are a great way to keep your energy up along the trail. Many trails don’t have restaurants or stores nearby so you may also want to pack a picnic lunch.
• Hand sanitizer (Most trails have outhouses, not modern toilets.)
• Any Medic*tion you may need (like antihistamines, your asthma inhaler, or an EpiPen)
• A safety whistle, pocket flashlight, and a basic first-aid kit (not required, but a good idea any time you’re in the wilderness)

• Sometimes we just want to have some fun and enjoy a friendly chat with a stranger.
• Our group hikes and activities are an easy way to get outside and explore Manitoba’s beautiful parks with other people.
• CPAWS staff will share their love of nature on a relaxing hike along our favourite trails.
• There won’t be any lectures along the way: when we stop for water and snack breaks we’ll keep the conversation casual and light.
• If you’ve got questions we’ll do our best to answer them. However, we are not formally trained park interpreters. We encourage people seeking learning opportunities to check out our outdoor education programming or try an interpretive event offered by Manitoba Parks.

We try not to let the weather stop us from getting outside. With the right gear, you can have a great time in most weather conditions.

That being said, safety must always be our top priority. We can’t be outside in a thunderstorm and may need to cancel if roads are hazardous.

Weather forecasts are notoriously unreliable. While we will do our best to monitor and make good judgment calls, there will be times when we decide to cancel and the skies clear and other days when a storm or high winds pop up unexpectedly.

We’ll send out an e-mail alert the day before an event letting registrants know if there’s a good chance we need to cancel. We will check the forecast again a few hours before the event to determine if we can try to go ahead.

If you have any questions or require any accommodations to participate, please email us at .
