This outing will give Pathfinders a chance to visit the Langara post-secondary campus, explore themes of urban development and climate change, and enjoy a wonderful musical!
We will be meeting at the corner of 49th Ave and Manitoba Street, on the north side of the street, and walking into campus together. Note the slightly later meeting time, as the show starts at 8 pm.
This event costs $18 to attend. Talk to a Guider about using Cookie Cash. Forms are available here Forms and payment are due back to the unit no later than Wednesday January 29. Uniforms are mandatory for this fun public outing.
