**Headlamps / White Light Mandatory**
Event Description
This is a fun event suitable for all paddlers.
We will paddle Petrolia's Bear Creek, finishing the paddle with the full moon overhead.
Afterwards we will head to a Black Gold for a snack and some refreshments.
**Per Transport Canada a watertight flashlight or lantern that emits a white light is required.**
** It is suggest that a headlamp is worn at all times and turned on 30+ minutes before dark.**
** This will both ensure your safety from collision and allow you to see any dangers in the water**
**An even safer option is to also have a Deck/Stern-mounted light and/or a clip-on beacon light attached to your pdf**
**Failure to bring a light will make you unable to paddle with the group**
