Saturday, April 20 saw the annual Easter event hosted at the Bob Snodgrass Recreation Complex.

Recreation, administration, and programing supervisor for the recreation complex Tracy Morgan says this year they did things a little differently.

"Well in previous years it's very weather dependent so we decided to bring it inside and then introduce our community to our rec centre, I know most people have been here but some haven't. So bringing them into the rec centre letting them explore our amenities and everything that we have to offer here."

Morgan says there was lots for the kids to enjoy.

"Yeah we have a great day planned. We have a scavenger hunt from eleven to one as well as, free swimming, and free rollerblading, and then at one o'clock we're showing the old classic Wizard Of Oz."

Morgan added that the event was a major success.

"The turnout has been fantastic, we're actually a little bit surprised that so many people showed up, so many families. It's been wonderful and so far we've had great compliments."
