Then your group shall float  down the river into Downtown Calgary.  Feel free to make a stop or two along the way (Recommend is Edworthy park as a halfway point) 

The ending point is just before the Peace Bridge (big red bridge) on the right-hand side.

Dress for the Weather!

Flip-flops, sandals or Crocs are the best footwear options. (Crocs are amazing!)

Shorts and a comfortable shirt or a swim-suit if you plan on jumping in. (Maybe a sweater if the weather calls for it)

A small cooler with drinks is a pro move and maybe even a few snacks for the journey. 

Less is more!  No need to bring backpacks and other non-essentials, leave them at home or in the vehicle.

As long as you pay attention and wear a life jacket you will be fine.

Uber or Bus to Bowness Park. So at the end of your trip you can take your vehicle and go home! (do the work ahead of time)

Recommend parking above a couple blocks away and just walking down. it will be easier and less stressful.
