Please note that there is a date change for the eagerly anticipated “Frozen Trails and Wagging Tails: Dog Sledding Delight” event.

Dog Sledding Event Saturday January 13, 2024 at Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area

The event has been rescheduled to Saturday, March 30, 2024. This decision was made to prioritize the safety and enjoyment of all participants, including dog mushers, dogs, volunteers, and attendees. By avoiding the extreme cold weather warnings associated with the polar vortex, we aim to provide a more pleasant experience for everyone involved.

Despite the date change, our commitment to offering an exhilarating afternoon of dog sledding delight remains unwavering. Participants will have the opportunity to explore Saskatoon’s best-kept secret in its winter wonderland, meet incredible dogs from Battle River Kennel and Eagle Ridge Sled Dog Kennel, and experience the thrill of dog sled rides through a mesmerizing winter landscape. Additionally, family-friendly wagon rides will be available for those seeking a picturesque journey.

For those who haven’t registered but wish to attend, please email us at friendsafforestation@gmail.com with your intent. In case we do not retain the required snow depth for dog sledding, the event may be subject to change to a walking tour.

We look forward to celebrating winter in Saskatoon with our community on Saturday, March 30, 2024, from 1:30 pm to approximately 4:00-4:30 pm at the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area. Bundle up in warm clothes, hats, and mittens, and join us for a day filled with joy, adventure, and the magic of winter.

Don’t miss this golden opportunity to be part of Saskatchewan’s winter magic! Secure your spot now for a day of unforgettable memories. Share, tag, and spread the word! Let’s make this event a winter wonderland to remember!

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
