MEC is hosting FREE winter workshops to kick off the season
Just because this city is covered in snow and ice doesn’t mean we’re going to stop moving.
Mountain Equipment Co-op (MEC) is looking to help out Calgarians with their wintertime activities by hosting a number of free workshops this November.
The workshops will be held over the weekend of Saturday, November 23 and Sunday, November 24, covering a wide range of topics, such as winter bike commuting, snowshoeing, and winter camping.
