What to Bring/Wear
It's winter in Ontario - and it's February. So bundle up with boots, gloves, warm toques, scarves and enough layers to keep you warm without impeding your walking.
Lost + Found
A lost and found / welcome desk area will be set up at YES CHURCH so if you drop a mitten or scarf you'll know where to ask for it to start - and if you find some extra stuff lying around be sure to drop them in.
