We will meet at the park (9:00 AM) with  fresh coffee (tea, juice) and morning sweet buns. We will take a bit of time to say hello, socialize, help each other get our boats and gear to the water and go for a modest paddle.  We should be on our way home for a late lunch.  If weather is fair and no wind in the forecast we will aim for Riel Park and Big Lake in St. Albert, if wind is in the forecast, Hemitage Park and pond (N. end) in NE Edmonton. We will make the location decision Saturday afternoon and circulate by supper time... keep an eye on the email.  Participants will be responsible for all their own paddling gear, coffee/tea, and sweet buns!
