Tour of RM of Fertile Belt

 

Things to bring:

 1. A vehicle 

It could be a really long walk.

We will each be taking our own vehicles or you can carpool with people you know from your area. I will let you arrange that on your own. Then, if you can only join us for part of the day, you can leave when you need to. 

​

2. Bag lunch and water to drink.

We aren't sure where we will be around lunchtime. This way, we can stop and eat when we get to that time.

​

3. Lawn Chairs

So you can sit down while you are eating, or you can also just sit and eat in your vehicle.

​

4. Hat, sun tan lotion, umbrella and insect repellent.

This is Saskatchewan where the weather can change at the drop of a hat and the mosquitos have landing lights!

​

5. Appropriate footwear.

Since we aren't sure what the cemetery conditions will be like, if they are muddy or dry.

​

6. Cameras

In case you are interested in taking photos.

​

7. Epipen (if you are someone who needs one)

In case we encounter wasps. 

​

There are a few washrooms along the way.
