Lastly, remember that we have started in on our bottle drive for the Canadian World Friendship Fund service project! Funds raised through CWFF support Guiding in partner countries in the other parts of the world through mutual aid. Please start collecting returnable cans and bottles in the clear plastic garbage bags we sent home at the January 11 meeting, and plan to bring them back to our meeting on March 1. Bottles need to be dropped off to the bottle depot in clear plastic bags, so if you have extra bottles to return, please plan to pack them in clear plastic for easy return. Thanks in advance!

This week, we are meeting at the church to get planning, organizing, and looking ahead to 2023! We’ll be working on planning a number of activities that we’ll be doing before Spring Break including two service projects; a Thinking Day meeting; and 3rd years will be working on girl-led meetings (as part of your Canada Cord).

See you at 6:45 pm on Wednesday!

Note the early start time on Nov 30 of 6 pm!!! Very important to be on time for this fun evening!!

Reminder that drop off is at 1:15 pm on Friday, and pick up is at 1:45 pm on Sunday, from the foot passenger area at the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal!

This week, we are learning all about layering, waterproofing, and packing a highly-efficient and effective camp pack! We are also going to be pre-making a recipe for camp, to enjoy at Olave.

Here is the kit list for Camp Olave:

Remember, we are taking transit from the ferry to camp, and then have to walk about 20 minutes when we get off the bus so you need to be able to carry all of your own gear. A large backpack is much better for this than a suitcase or duffle bag! Please connect with a leader on Wednesday night if you have any questions about this.

Reminder to those that have signed up for Saturday’s Girls ROCK trip to Britannia Mines, drop off at 8 am and pick up at 2:45 pm at Queen Elizabeth Park, at the pitch and putt parking lot, off of 37th Ave. Here is the location:

Please dress warmly and for the weather, including sturdy shoes, rain gear and a toque/hat. Please do not bring an umbrella, as we can’t take these into the mines. Bring a water bottle. Lunch is being provided. Please do not bring any additional food due to allergies.

Looking forward to a fun day on Saturday!
