Well it was bound to happen sometime. We drew the short straw for our casino this year and it is going to be on the August long weekend. We tried to switch the date but we couldn't find anyone to take this date. Please help us out if you are going to be in Calgary for the long weekend.
The Alberta River Surfers Association will be upgrading the Mountain Wave, the wave below it and the Wall Wave this spring on the Kananaskis River. Construction will begin May 1 and wrap up May 10th. All three features are between Santa's Little Helper and the top of the Race Course. Heavy equipment will be transporting rock from the Canoe Meadows parking lot to these sites and then placing the rock into the river channel to form these waves. During construction the Canoe Meadows Campground will be closed.

Thursday Shifts
Help us put the Slalom Gates back up after the Kananaskis river work is finished up. Alberta Slalom Canoe Kayak is hosting the National Slalom Team Trials starting May 8 with races on May 13-14.
