Boy hunting for Easter eggs

On Saturday, April 16, 2022, the Easter bunny will be hopping back into Port Colborne for the annual outdoor Easter egg hunt at 11 a.m. at the Vale Health & Wellness Centre, 550 Elizabeth Street.

“We’re looking forward to the Easter bunny’s return to Port Colborne”, said Luke Rowe, event and volunteer coordinator. “The Easter Egg Hunt is planned to be outdoors; however, we can accommodate an indoor egg hunt during inclement weather. We will also be offering free family fun through our partnership with the Port Colborne YMCA.”

Residents are encouraged to re-connect with city events by PORTicipating in additional FREE Easter activities happening at the Vale Health & Wellness Centre on April 16 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for families to enjoy:

  • 10 a.m. & 12 p.m. Dena Gelentso Easter Crafts
  • 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Niagara Face Painters
  • 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Colouring Station
  • 11 a.m. Easter Egg Hunt (outdoors, weather permitting). Bring your own basket! Participants will need to register at the main entrance of the Vale Health & Wellness Centre by age group: one to five, six to 10, and 11-15 years old. Participants will be given a coloured card to return to the registration desk with one egg for an age specific prize bag. In the result of inclement weather, the Easter egg hunt will move indoors to the walking track. 
  • 12 to 2 p.m. Free Skate
  • 12 to 3 p.m. Free Swim with the YMCA (pre-registration is required for a one-hour time slot). Bookings will open one week in advance. Call the YMCA at 905-835-9622.
