Niagara municipalities are teaming up to invite residents to get out and rediscover their region.
With COVID-19 restrictions slowly lifting recreation and leisure teams from the City of St. Catharines, Fort Erie, Port Colborne, Niagara Falls, Welland, Pelham, West Lincoln, Lincoln, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Thorold, Grimsby and the Niagara Parks Commission are joining together to host Reconnect to Rediscover Niagara from noon, Aug. 27 to midnight, Sept. 6. The online scavenger hunt, hosted on the GooseChase app, invites Niagara residents from across the region to reconnect with their neighbouring municipalities and rediscover the rich natural landscapes and history they offer.
Using the app participants will be invited to snap photos or videos as they explore locations and attractions across Niagara to complete missions, each mission completed will net points, with participants able to track their progress against others.
“It adds a bit of fun, friendly competition while inviting residents to get out and enjoy all Niagara has to offer. We’ve all been trying to stay home as much as possible, but as restrictions slowly lift, we want our residents to reconnect with their neighbouring communities and truly enjoy all of Niagara,” said St. Catharines community and events coordinator Andrea Connelly-Miele.
The missions are designed in such a way to provide participants with a wholistic glimpse of Niagara, its history and its natural beauty.
More than 20 missions are planned, including exploring the Friendship Trail in Port Colborne; checking out an armored vehicle at the Lake Street Armoury in St. Catharines; Niagara Parks Power Station trivia; and more.
Prizes will be awarded to the most creative family or team entry and to point leaders. First-, second- and third-place packages for point leaders include gift cards to local businesses and Niagara-themed merchandise packages from the Niagara Parks Commission. The most creative family or team will pick up a one-night stay at Great Wolf Lodge, including waterpark access, alongside a Niagara Parks Commission family prize pack.
