The annual Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt organized by the BIA was a massive hit this year, with an overwhelming response from the community. The event sold out quickly, attracting approximately 500 people to the downtown. It was truly a collaborative effort, with many community partners and locals coming together to make it a memorable day for everyone involved.
Community Partnerships and Activities
Various organizations played a key role in making the Easter event a success. The Thorold Public Library took charge of the check-in desk and also set up a colouring space for the colouring contest, along with a delightful story walk for the children. Additionally, the Thorold Centre 50+ provided free hot beverages for both children and adults, along with offering face painting, games, treats, and even a visit from the Easter Bunny. Kidz Who Can added to the fun with a table where children could decode jokes, adding an extra element of excitement to the day.

The atmosphere was filled with joy and laughter as families came together to participate in the various activities planned for the day.
