You can get chocolate and help families on Good Friday.
On April 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Rebecca Permack of Burke Mountain Homes will be hosting the Burke Mountain Community Easter Egg Hunt with 100% of proceeds going to the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, directly benefiting Tri-City Transitions, a local women's shelter.
The event is expected to attract more than 1,200 children and their families, who will be able to meet the Easter Bunny and collect treats hidden in the park. Families are encouraged to bring their own Easter egg basket.
The event takes place at Galloway Park, 3404 Galloway Ave., in Coquitlam. Registration starts at 10 a.m., with the hunt for children up to age four beginning at 11 a.m., and for kids ages five to eight (and older) beginning at 11:30 a.m.
Participation in the Easter Egg Hunt fundraising event is by donation, with a suggestion of a minimum of $5 per family.
SETTING IT STRAIGHT
Re. "Realtor to take a hike to aid TC Transitions" (March 24, The Tri-City News).
The referenced article incorrectly stated that tickets for the Burke Mountain Easter Egg Hunt could be purchased online at eventbrite.ca. In fact, there is no pre-registration for the community Easter Egg Hunt, only onsite registration on the day of the event: Friday, April 14.
