Thank you to everyone who participated in the most recent Community Engagement Challenge - we saw some delicious snacks and lots of smiling faces! Congratulations to Mandi, her children; Malaki, Kaydance, Raquelle, Adelaide and Lochlan and the family dog, Chloe - they are the Backyard Picnic Challenge winners!
Each Thursday, Nicole Crown, the Community Recreation Coordinator, will be releasing a new challenge as a way to keep the community engaged during this difficult time. Once the challenge has been released, participants have until the following Wednesday to complete the challenge, take a photo and send it in to: nicole.crown@gravenhurst.ca. After each challenge, Recreation will choose one lucky entry to receive a $50 credit towards any future recreation program with the Town of Gravenhurst. Remember to keep your eye out for the weekly engagement challenge on the Town Facebook page and be sure to send those photos in! Be safe, have fun and get creative!
