<div class="level1">
<p>
This year (Jan 25, 2020), Winter Field Day will be in Porpoise Bay Provincial Park (<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/49.5048/-123.7520&layers=C" class="urlextern" title="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/49.5048/-123.7520&layers=C" rel="ugc nofollow">49.5048,-123.7520</a>)
</p>
<p>
We are planing on bringing small BBQs. Everyone (ham or not and their families) is welcome! Please bring your food, drink, and camping chairs.

The Park has two covered areas and plenty of trees to hang antennas. One of them is even halfway between two good trees over 20m away on each side (enough room for an 80m dipole!):

Solar will probably not be an option because of the trees.
