So, just a short while ago we thought that 3 straight weeks of rain was a pain ... careful what you wish for ... What's a little cold weather, eh? After all, we live in Canada!

We're still on for this week, 9:00am at Bushtukah. So far, Dianne, Chris, Anka and I will be snowshoeing, anyone else is welcome to join us! To get more time actually snowshoeing, we'll probably meet at Bushtukah and then drive 1 car over to the end of Churchill and head out from there.

Walkers and runners, dress warm, especially remembering to have a scarf or something to cover your face. Very important is the idea of layering and not having cotton next to your skin. It'll be so nice and sunny, don't forget to bring your sunglasses!!

PLEASE send out a reply so this week at least we know if you're coming or not. It would be pretty cold waiting for people and they not come out. Even if you just meet us for breakfast, let me know, as I tend to make a reservation as we walk by Donna's.

See you Saturday morning! Breakfast right after at around 10:10am

Women on Skis

This Friday is a day for Women on Skis. With fresh snow in the forecast for Wednesday, conditions should be fabulous!!

See web-site
http://www.nakkertok.ca/womenonskis/

We will meet at Mooney's Bay track area for a waxing demo, the break into experience / ability groups for lessons. Arrive at 9:30 and be ready to ski by 10:00.

These lessons are a great way to begin the ski season, so do try to take advantage of the day if you can.

Cost for Woman on skis is $6/day + $2 trail fees. All money gathered by Women on Skis this year will go to support The Well and St. Joe's Womens' Centre.

A Social Lunch will be organized at a designated restaurant.

Hope to see you there.

Skating, Jan 3

Does anyone want to go for a skate on the canal after breakfast. I think that it would be fun. Bring your skates.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Well, one of my Resolutions was to "Not put off to tomorrow, what I can do today" otherwise known as Procrastination!!!!!!! I'm slipping on that one already and it's only the 2nd day of January!! LOL :) I had planned to have sent this out a day or 2 ago, but let's just say I'm giving my Resolution another shot!

If you're like me, you probably have been having some delicious meals and plenty of spectacular sweets, not to mention the odd eggnog! No time like the present to start the new year off on the right foot, so come out and join us tomorrow morning, Sat., at Bushtukah, at 9:00am. There's something for everyone, walking and/or running, sunshine and cool crisp fresh air!!!! Plus great conversation both during run/walk and at breakfast!

If you haven't been out in a while, no problem, cause like they say, "Out with the old and in with the new!!!!!" There's no time like the present to start new habits!!!!!
