Bring

• Rain gear, regardless of the forecast. Also, protect all electronic devices; resealable plastic bags work well.
• A hat, sunscreen and water bottle, as well as a backpack to carry your stuff, plus any purchases you make on-site.
• Some cash and credit/debit cards. There will be food and pink merchandise available for purchase, and you may be the highest bidder on some silent auction items.
• A wagon or stroller for young children.
• Your leashed, well-behaved dog. Remember to bring some poop bags too.

Don’t Bring

• Feather boas. They shed feathers that harm the conservation area’s natural environment. Try leis instead.
• Latex balloons
• Bicycles, roller blades, skateboards or scooters. Only medical mobility devices are permitted.

Parking

• There is ample parking on-site at the Christie Lake Conservation Area.
• Watch for our parking attendants for instructions.
• For patrons with Ontario Disability permits, we have reserved a number of spots on-site. We also have golf carts to help you travel from the main parking lot to the event.

When You Arrive…

• Check in at the New Registration area OR if you have already registered go directly to the Tshirt Pick Up area.
  Drop off your pledge forms and donations when you get your Tshirt.
• Visit the Penny Sale, Exhibits, Children’s area, Silent Auction, and Pink Gear.
• Get your pictures taken: SmartBooth, Team Photo Area and the Fido Foto Frame. 
• Keep an eye out for some surprise visitors!

Safety Notes

• Masks and hand sanitizer will be available at a variety of locations on site. Be considerate of others during your walk, run or stroll. We want everyone to have a fun day.
• First aid volunteers (healthcare workers and nurses) will be strategically positioned along the trails as well as in the first aid tent. First aid responders can be identified by their light blue volunteer t-shirts as well as a black or blue backpack with the red first aid logo.
• Please follow all safety protocols as outlined by the Hamilton Conservation Authority. 

We can’t wait to see you! Let’s have some BRIGHT, pink fun!
