The Leaside Rotary Family Day Scavenger Hunt was such fun! There were over 190 items to find along seven different walking routes. We saw families on the Hunt and everyone said it was a lot of fun...a great way to get outside and enjoy our neighbourhoods. Thank you everyone who volunteered to put items on their lawns, doors and windows. We will be doing it again next year.
