Clothing - For September you can expect cool temperatures of 5 C in the mornings and evenings but day time highs into the 20 C range.  

It may technically still be summer in September, but you should definitely pack for fall weather as well. You can expect some brisk mornings and evenings where it's helpful to have a sweater, hoodie, pullover, or fleece top. During your day outside the weather can fluctuate between warm and cold, so bring clothes that can be easily layered. A light rain jacket and rubber boots are also a must-have. 


* If you are an experienced plein air painter, just bring your usual supplies. If you have any supply questions please contact the Federation office: 604-681-2744.
