UW LAKE CLEANUP at Lake Minnewanka Cliff's Dive Site  ..... with thanks from Parks Canada

NOTE: We should have access to Gate (located just past boat launch & concession) & will be able to drive thru & park next to picnic shelter.  Suggest that divers gear up at your vehicle or tailgate, then walk down to beach after Dive Safety Briefing. Or alternatively, wagon gear down to picnic tables on beach & gear up there.

Note: This parking arrangement is very unusual, most divers must hike from main tourist parking lot at Lake Minnewanka to access the "Cliff's Dive Site" at Lake Minnewanka.  Great opportunity to dive here!

DIVERS - Remember - to stay clear of Boat Launches, Boat Traffic Lanes, Docks, Dams & Weirs, etc.

LIMITED NUMBERS, MUST RSVP - Click on GET TICKETS via this AUC.TidyHQ Portal or Registering via email here for the first 25 divers only!
