Know Your Neighbourhood Ward Challenges
Looking for something to do safely with your household over the April Break?
Get outside with your family for some exercise and fun while discovering the local history and landmarks of your area of the City. These games challenge residents to discover the hidden histories, fun facts, and notable locations in their ward, be it Merritton, St. Patrick's, St. Andrew's, St. George's, Port Dalhousie, or Grantham.
The City remains committed to working with our Provincial partners toward slowing the spread of COVID-19. This includes the current Stay at Home order, under which individuals and families should stay home except for essential purposes such as outdoor exercise. These challenges are designed to facilitate that, encouraging households to stay active together during the Stay at Home order.
Participants should remember to participate only with members of their household, and limit the spread of COVID-19 by:
- Physical distancing of two meters with non-household members
- Wearing a mask
- Frequent handwashing
Outdoor gatherings with individuals outside your household remain prohibited.
Game codes:
- Merritton: PEPLZB
- St. Andrew's: QM5GK9
- St. George's: VJ3BER
- St. Patrick's: B53R6M
- Grantham: 1BMV61
- Port Dalhousie: JWKBLJ
