The popular Bunny Trail will return this Easter, but like everything else during the pandemic, with a bit of a twist. 

To allow for a safe event, the board of directors and staff of Niagara Nursery School and Child Care Centre, with support from the town, are putting together Bunny Trail take-home packages that will be available for purchase.

“We were so disappointed to have to cancel the annual Bunny Trail fundraiser in 2020, and have been working hard to come up with a way to bring the Bunny Trail back to the community in a COVID-friendly manner,” says executive director Candice Penny.

“Crystal Bunny will be hard at work behind the scenes, preparing bunny trail packages for pickup that will include crafts, some sweet treats, and lots of other goodies from our community sponsors.”

The purchase of Bunny Trail packages will support the ongoing expansion of the Niagara Nursery School. 

There will be a limited number of packages available. They can be purchased online between March 10 and March 31 at https://niagaranurseryschool.ca/.

Packages can be picked up between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on April 3, in front of the new nursery school expansion beside the Niagara-on-the-Lake Public Library at 10 Anderson Lane. Additional pickup instructions will be provided upon sign-up.

Residents and local business owners are invited to sponsor this event by donating sealed sweets or Easter-themed activities including stickers, colouring books, pencils, etc., for inclusion in the packages. Please email [email protected] to arrange for donation dropoff. All event sponsors will be acknowledged on a sponsor list included in each package.
