Preparing for winter adventures in Manitoba
November 7 2023
Are you curious about winter hiking, cross-country skiing, or snowshoeing, but not sure how to stay safe and warm?
Are you hoping to spend more time outside this winter but need a little extra motivation?
Join CPAWS Manitoba and The Wilderness Supply Co. on Tuesday Nov 7 for a winter adventure workshop.
You’ll be entered to win a door prize just for attending!
The Wilderness Supply Co. staff will offer an interactive and engaging presentation teaching you the skills you need to enjoy spring in Manitoba, including:
- The right types of outdoor gear/clothing for winter activities (including down vs synthetic)
- How to dress appropriately for winter (including layering!)
- What to pack in your bag/backpack
- Intro to snowshoeing and winter hiking
- Leave no trace principles in the winter
Afterwards, there will be plenty of time for questions, mingling, and shopping. Attendees will receive a 10% discount on all products on the evening of the event (excluding boats).
The event is free but tickets are limited, so be sure to register early.
