As temperatures warm and trail season ramps up, ticks become more active throughout Alberta’s forests and foothills. While the risk of contracting a tick-borne illness in Alberta remains low, prevention and awareness are still important for anyone spending time outdoors.

From understanding where ticks are commonly found to simple prevention tips and proper removal techniques, being prepared can help make your next adventure a little safer.

Six Calgary Ski Club members enjoyed a wonderful day cycling the Legacy Trail from Canmore to Banff and back. We were welcomed with warm temperatures, sunny skies, and a pleasant breeze that made for ideal riding conditions.

The group paused at the two red Adirondack chairs midway along the trail to take in the mountain views before continuing on to Banff. Upon arrival, we made our way to Central Park for lunch and a visit to the busy farmers’ market, where vendors and visitors filled the grounds with energy and colour.

The return ride to Canmore, with its gentle decline, made for a quick and enjoyable trip back to the trailhead. By the time we arrived, the trail count had already reached approximately 700 cyclists using the pathway that day.

Thank you to everyone who attended. It was a great day for a bike ride and a wonderful outing shared in excellent company.
