CISPA - The Canadian International School Parents' Association

Walk And Talk. 

Welcome Committee Walk for CDNIS Parents

Whether you are new to CDNIS or a long-time parent, you’re invited to come join us on Wednesday,  1 September, for a walk around the Peak. It’s a great way to meet new people in the CDNIS community. 

We’ll gather outside the Peak Tram station (up on the Peak) between 9 and 9:15 a.m. The walk itself takes about one hour, and we’ll end up back at the starting point. It is completely stroller-friendly for those of you with young children. 

There is a Pacific Coffee shop near the Tram station where we’ll stop for refreshments. If you want to join us for coffee only, look for us around 10:30. In case of rain, we'll just meet at the Pacific Coffee for a social hour.  

For more details, contact Nancy Harbin at nancy.harbin@cispa.hk or 6299 1264.
