Spring is finally here! I’m so happy just to step outside and not see snow anymore. 😄

Easter weekend is just around the corner 🐰 and I know the usual egg hunts and crowded mall bunny photos aren't for everyone.

So in this week’s Scoop, I gathered Easter events that are quieter and less crowded: farm & nature egg hunts, relaxed movie screening, free art studios, and a moonlit maple walk!

Note: This is your Halton Edition. Reply YORK to switch to York & Vaughan Edition. Or BOTH to get both editions.
