SUMMARY:Nature Walking Through Grief and Loss
DESCRIPTION:Good Grief – Fall 2023\nWednesday\, September 13\, 6:00 – 7:30 pm\nBow Valley Ranch\, Fish Creek Provincial Park\, 15975 Bow Bottom Trail SE \nBeing outdoors provides many healing benefits – it allows us to breathe\, reflect and connect with our natural surroundings. While we may not even be aware of it in the moment\, the benefits are there. In fact\, research has shown the healing benefits of nature for people experiencing significant loss or transitions in life. \nAs a way of supporting people who may be on this journey\, the Friends of Fish Creek have created Good Grief: Nature Walking Through Grief and Loss. Good Grief is an eight-week series of gentle walks that brings together people moving through the shared experience of loss with the intent that they will find support from each other\, their community\, and their time in nature. All walks are between 1.5 to 2.0km round trip on relatively flat\, paved pathways in Fish Creek Provincial Park\, and include time for reflection and discussion with other participants and Friends of Fish Creek Volunteer Companions who guide the group.\n \nRegister Here\n \nPhoto courtesy of Stan Kwasniowski

SUMMARY:Park Watch Day
DESCRIPTION:Park User Awareness\nTuesday\, September 26\, 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm\nShannon Terrace\, Fish Creek Provincial Park\, 13931 Woodpath Road SW \nThe Friends’ Park Watch Stewardship Program has been in existence since 2001\, and since then\, Volunteer Stewards have actively taken on the role of helping to foster a safe\, beautiful and enjoyable natural environment for park users.  \nPark Watch Stewards provide a visible presence that encourages responsible park use while providing user education and the reporting of important observations via a new mobile Park Watch app to Fish Creek Provincial Park staff and the Friends. Providing assistance and information to park visitors\, especially those who may be new to Fish Creek or the city\, is one of the most rewarding ways to create awareness and encourage environmental stewardship. \nThe theme for this Park Watch Day is Pet Etiquette. The Friends and our community of volunteers will be at Shannon Terrace to provide information to park users. Bring your fur babies to our booth to receive free swag! \nOur goal for the day is to provide the public with an opportunity to build a meaningful connection with nature and to learn about Fish Creek. \nShould you find yourself in this area\, please stop by and say hello! \nPlease contact our Visitor Services Coordinator\, Kumiko Kamiike\, for more information at kumiko@friendsoffishcreek.org. \n\n
