Saturday morning hiking
I am planning to lead a hike before the 'official' 'do'. So far 3 of us are going, but I'm happy to show off our beautiful trails to as many as possible! We will go at the pace of the slowest person (possibly me!).
We will be hiking from Alyard farm, meeting there at 11am. If you need a ride, PM painintheuk. It will be a slow, relaxed pace, with snacks along the way!
We'll be done and back in plenty of time to check in and relax before the Do.

I booked that late WS Nonstop flight to YYC as I do want to explore a bit and it was $120 cheaper than the other options
. I'm 100% down to fly in Friday and do harbour air with you so let me know when/if you can confirm/book and I'll book the AC leg into YVR! If not, I can just do YYC-YYJ nonstop on Saturday so whatever works for you

Not that is should matter too much, but Harbour Air is a VFR only operation and will stop flying if it's too foggy, which can certainly happen in the Inner Harbour. Helijet is quite a bit more resilient.
Me, I enjoy the approach into YWH a lot and Harbour Air is right downtown (on both ends) as opposed to Helijet who stuffs you into a cab when you land in Victoria. But both flights are decent and more fun than YYJ IMHO.

After pondering forever , just booked AC217 to YVR Friday so I can Helijet or Harbour air to YYJ on Saturday. Haven't been that indecisive in a loooong time.

Leaning more toward driving the whole way down Friday night and hitting up the Argyle Attic or some other such nook.

Added.
This will be my second, after the St. John's do a couple of summers back, looking forward to it.
Just booked my flights - on the Friday morning from YYT had a choice of connection in YYZ to AC183 to Vancouver or AC1681 direct to Victoria. Whilst others are on 183, I'm going to save the dollars in getting to YYJ direct and take the Rouge flight and sample the delights of Vancouver island for a couple of days!
