SUMMARY:VANCOUVER
DESCRIPTION:Picnic at Trout Lake/John Hendry Park\n\nWith Phase 3 in effect\, we would like to invite you all to a Picnic at Trout Lake/John Hendry Park. Our special guests will be Nature Mentors from Echo Ecological who will lead us on a Nature Scavenger Hunt throughout the park. We’ll play games along the way and discover all sorts of cool things\, such as different kinds of bird nests!\n\nMeeting place: We’ll meet on the south side of the Park\, which is at 19th Ave. near Hull St. See map here. There is parking on East 19th. For bus travel\, the # 20 (Victoria Drive\, disembark at Victoria Diversion)\, #7 (Nanaimo St\, disembark at E. 20th)\, # 9 and #99 (Broadway\, disembark at Victoria\, 10-15 min walk) will all get you there. SkyTrain stations Commercial-Broadway and Nanaimo are both about 1 km from the meeting spot. Please check Translink for more details.\n\nDress for the weather and wear shoes that you don’t mind getting a little wet. This Explorer Day will go ahead if light rain is forecast\, but we will cancel if heavier rain is expected.\n\nTo keep us all safe during the Covid 19 pandemic\, we will maintain physical distancing by congregating in a large circle of family groups 6 feet apart. Please bring a blanket and all the food needed for your family; we will not be sharing food. For the Scavenger Hunt\, families will aim to stay in their family bubble. Parents/guardians will be responsible for maintaining 6 ft. distance. The wearing of masks is welcome but not required. Please cancel your registration if anyone in your family bubble has had symptoms of Covid 19 such as coughing or fever\, or if anyone in your family bubble has been around anyone with such symptoms.\n\nEcho Ecological is an organization that provides habitat conservation and restoration for degraded urban ecosystems in Metro Vancouver. For the past few years\, they have been restoring the bog on the east side of Trout Lake\, so they know this Park really well. To learn more about this project and others\, see  www.echoecological.com/projects.html.\n\nRSVP to the event here.
