Parents provide 10 peanut and nut free candy eggs per child participant
One parent arrives early (9:45AM) and hides the eggs
At 10:30 AM the children gather near the play structure. They are told the rules, including that each child is only allowed ten eggs
At 10:30, kids hunt for their 10 eggs. The older kids are encouraged to help the younger ones find their 10 eggs
After the egg hunt, there will be coffee for the adults and both adults, and kids can nibble on goodies and catch up with their neighbours. It would be greatly appreciated if parents bring some peanut and nut free goodies to share
Please note: This Wednesday meeting updates LRT construction across Bay Ward, in contrast to the previously announced Monday meeting that specifically addresses construction at the Cleary Avenue / Richmond Road / Byron Avenue site in McKellar Park.
On Wednesday, March 22my office in conjunction with Stage 2 LRT staff will be holding a community update meeting from 6:pm to 8:30pm. Staff will provide a presentation to residents that includes a summary of the work that has been conducted to date and what future construction lies ahead. This will be followed by a question-and-answer session where attendees have the opportunity to ask questions.
