Come see us on Wednesday September 16 or Tuesday September 22 to fill out your registration documents. Our first official meeting will be held at Mile 54 Charlie Provincial park for a club supplied hot dog roast meet &... greet. *****EDIT: HOT DOG ROAST HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE BEATTON PARK TOBOGGAN HILL*** We must abide by the current COVID-19 regulations for maximum group sizes. Due to this only one parent per family will be allowed to attend any meetings or events. This will allow the maximum number of children to participate in the program. Registration is on an first come first serve basis Any adult from your household who will potentially attend a meeting or event must provide a valid Vulnerable Sector Police Check. As we are not a drop off program your child will not be able to participate should the check not be supplied. Please take the attached letter to the local RCMP detachment to get the process started. It is your responsibility to check in with them and pick the check up to hand it in; they do not call you when it is complete. At this time of year they have a back log of these to do. Fees: Annual fees for each warden are $240 payable in 2 installments of $120 (October 6 & January 26) via cheque or e-transfer. A post dated (May 31, 2021) check for $150 for every family is required as a fundraising deposit.

"What is Junior Forest Wardens about?" JFW is a parented program in which parents participate alongside their children in learning about Ecology, Forestry, Leadership and Woods travel and volunteering. This is one of the unique things about JFW - the parents get just as much out of it as the kids do! Preschool age children are also generally welcome at most meetings and club events. As your children grow up, the program becomes more advanced and challenging. You'll be amazed ...at what your family will learn after a few years in JFW! Children as young as 6 years old can join JFW. There are 4 age groups: Pathfinders Ages 6-8 Trailblazers Ages 9-11 Adventurers- Ages 12-14 Challengers Ages 15-18 Junior Forest Warden activities focus on our 4 Pillars of: Forestry, Ecology, Leadership, and Outdoor Skills.

Hey everyone! We hope you're enjoying the sunshiny summer weather we're having. We wanted to let you know that we are planning on having a 2020-2021 season. We are working on the details of what that will look like and will have more information in the fall. At this time we are looking for a venue as it is very unlikely we'll have access to a school gym like we've had in the past. If you or anyone you know has a space available please contact us we'd love to hear from you!
