Updates for March 2023
Easter egg hunts are back! We've started updating the info for this year. Unfortunately MOST wait until the last minute (often just a week before) to publish their
dates, times and details. We're updating their information daily as it comes in. When we CONFIRM an event for 2023, the date will be highlighted in pink,(currently
showing those confirmed for last year) like this
passage to make them easy to find as you scroll down the page.
RELATED: You may also want to
go to a local farm to
Pick Your Own fruit and vegetables; strawberries start very soon in most areas! Farms will be open, and it's quite safe out in a field,
where people are not close to each other!
And if you are looking to save money on children's clothes, toys, books, etc, find a local
children's consignment sale, also often held by churches in
the Spring and Fall, click
here!
And there will be St. Patrick's Day parades and events held in many cities - See this
page to find a Saint Patrick's Day parade near you!
ALWAYS click the links to check date and time with the event's own website, as there are often last minute cancellations, postponements or changes to locations due to weather (like heavy rains) or logistical problems, just click on the link to the event's website and (in most cases), you want to click on the "events" link or "calendar" link on their website.
Or use their site search for "Easter". Do let them know you found them here, so
they will update us next year. Since many egg hunts do not publish the
current year's dates until the very last minute, or simply never respond to
email, we may not get their
current information, which is why we have links to their websites, Facebook
pages and calendars. Besides egg hunts, there are also Easter breakfasts and brunches and
Easter parades to watch!

your typical Easter Egg Hunt. In preparation for Easter weekend at the
Diefenbunker, the Easter Bunny (AKA Peter Cottontail) came for a visit
underground. After taking a tour through 100,000 square foot Bunker
turned museum, Mr. Cottontail decided to create a clever family-friendly
scavenger hunt using camouflaged eggs. There will be three levels of
difficultly to accommodate a variety of ages and abilities to guarantee

the Easter Bunny has hidden all of the eggs inside the bunker?

Here’s what you need to know:
Please note, Purchase your tickets for this special event in advance online or
by phone (613-839-0007). You must select a
specified entry time to the Museum when purchasing tickets. If you miss
your entry time, we will do our best to get you inside the Museum,
however if we are at capacity there may be a waiting period. We
highly recommend purchasing tickets for this special event in advance
online or by phone. Upon arrival, you’ll be given a scavenger hunt
checklist and pencil to tally up where all the eggs are hidden. At the
end of your scavenger hunt, you will receive a treat bag that is
nut-free. Eggs are affixed to walls and other hiding spots and not
removable, so there is no need to bring an Easter basket. No chocolate
eggs will be hidden throughout the museum. Parking is free. No Public
Tours will be offered this weekend. Consider bringing a baby carrier,
instead of a stroller. The Museum is tough to navigate between floors
(you’d have to carry the stroller up and down stairs).
