The Byward Market is open for business throughout the Easter weekend. Things are always popping the Market and the stalls should be busy with crafts and early flowers. Alongside the restaurants and shops the BIA will be hosting hay rides, tastings and other activities.
The Easter Bunny is back for another Easter egg hunt at the Diefenbunker. Now in its sixth year the event in the 100,000 square foot facility gets rave reviews from all. Interesting for the older kids and adults and huge chocolatey fun for the wee ones. This year’s hunt is April 15th from 11-4PM.
