A big Thank you to all our scavengers who took to the streets to find answers! We had over 150 teams register for the hunt! Click here to download the Answer sheet.

Over the week of Canada Day 2021, we put a call out to all Transconians to grab some clean gitch, down a double double and give’er for the Great Transconian Canada Day Scavenger Hunt! Participants were encouraged to walk, bike, or drive around downtown Transcona on their quest to find answers hidden better than salami on shoulder at a social. Teams that answered all questions correctly were entered into a draw to win the grand prize, and all participating teams were entered into a draw to win one of three summer fun packs.

Pre-registered teams had the chance to pick up a free Canada Day Celebration Kit from the Transcona BIZ Office while supplies lasted – which was not long, they flew out the door!

The Scavenger Hunt consisted of a number of questions, with answers located in outdoor spaces around the Transcona Business Improvement Zone.

Rules:

  1. One team entry per household.
  2. No trespassing on private property. Answers to all scavenger hunt questions can be seen from outdoors, in public spaces.
  3. All participants must obey Manitoba Public Health Orders and maintain physical distancing.
  4. Submissions can be entered by using the online Google Form, or by dropping off a completed paper form to the Transcona BIZ Office mailbox at 108 Bond Street, Winnipeg by the deadline of 12pm noon on Monday, July 5th 2021 to be eligible for prize draws.

Canada Day Walls of Fame Community Artwork Competition
Transcona BIZ invited all community members to create a masterpiece for the Canada Day Walls of Fame Community Artwork Competition! Artists of all ages were encouraged to submit an entry inspired by the theme of ‘Celebrate Canada’ on a letter-sized (Height: 11” x Width: 8.5”) portrait-oriented sheet of paper.

Winning entries have been laminated and are now proudly displayed at the Wyatt Dowling / Wawanesa Community Walls of Fame at Transcona Centennial Square as part of the 2021 Canada Day celebrations and will remain on display throughout the summer of 2021.

Transcona BIZ is grateful for the generous funding by Canadian Heritage and TD Bank Group in order to make these Canada Day Celebrations possible.
