Solstice Series Part III PD Event
Date & Time: Friday, June 8th - 3pm to 7pm
Location: Sandy Beach Picnic Area - Calgary

Calling all Educators and Outdoor Enthusiasts!

I hope you are all enjoying this amazing weather we are having lately and slowly counting down those school days. I know that many of you still have adventures on the mind and school outings so best of luck with all of those and keep up the amazing work!

For our Solstice Series Part III PD event we thought about having more workshops and guest speakers for you...but then we realized it's June! The only kind of PD events you are going to want is "How to BBQ 101" and "Lawn Bowling", so we decided to do just that!

We bring to you Solstice Series Part III - BBQ and Yard Games! The ATA Council GEOEC (Global, Environmental & Outdoor Education Council) will be hosting a free BBQ for all who want some burgers and beverages (non-alcoholic). At the same time as the BBQ there will be two semi-competitive tournaments going on for some pretty sweet prizes! We have a Lawn Bowling and Ladder Ball Tournament set-up for all who dare enter. I hear there are even some HPEC members out there that think they can play...

With door prizes, BBQ, and some yard games we just want to have a nice afternoon, say Thank You to everyone for your amazing work and enjoy the sunshine! No more big workshops and PD events until the fall! Just parks and fun for now.

Exciting Prizes: SPY Sunglasses, Alberta Parks Artwork, Coolers, Yard Games and many more.

Have a great last few weeks of May and we hope to see you in June!
