TO BE FOREWARNED IS TO BE FOREARMED
There is an old maxim "to be forewarned is to be forearmed" that I believe is relevant to the North Saskatchewan river. The basic meaning of the maxim is those who know that there may be something ahead to be concerned about are better prepared to face it than those who do not know. I've rafted, canoed and swam in the river. I've enjoyed its the scenic backdrop as I calmly floated down the river and I've experienced the adrenaline rush as we entered the rapids between Nordegg and Rocky Mountain House.
