The AWA and the Alberta River Surfers are undertaking a 5 day project to improve the river features on the Kananaskis from May 1-5. The water will be shut off from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm each day and then turned on each evening. You are welcome to come out and test out our work after the equipment has been removed from the river each day. Please be careful during these days because the feature might not be fully completed and have some safety issues that we still need to fix.
If you would like to help out we would appreciate your assistance
