Cadets. We are the only Youth Drum and Bugle
Corps in the area!

music or perform colour guard, we instruct them how to march, perform and
basically just have fun! Check us

Be a snow
angel! Keeping sidewalks free of ice and snow can be very challenging for older
adults and people with limited mobility. As a snow angel, you can be good
neighbour by clearing snow for those who need assistance. All you have to do is
adopt a sidewalk and keep it clear when it snows. Watch for people in your
neighbourhood who could use help removing snow and lend them a hand. It’s also
a great opportunity for students to complete volunteer hours needed and to
exercise outdoors! Learn more: www.kitchener.ca/snowangels

Hot Cross Bun
Making Demonstration and Kid’s Craft Making @ McDougall Cottage Cambridge
Drop in from 1
to 4 p.m.There are many interesting superstitions surrounding hot cross buns. One says that they will not spoil if baked or served on Good Friday while another claims that they can protect against shipwreck. A hot cross bun placed on the hearth is thought to protect from fire and also ensure that all your breads bake perfectly; kissing a hot cross bun before eating it is said to bring good luck. Our favourite superstition, however, is the one that says that sharing a hot cross bun with a friend will guarantee good friendship for the coming year. We can’t say whether or not these superstitions are true, but one thing we do know is that these traditional Scottish Easter treats are delicious – especially when they’re freshly baked! Plan to stop by McDougall Cottage on Good Friday when we’ll be baking up some hot cross buns to share with friends, old and new. Nibble a sample with a hot cup of tea and don’t forget to take a free recipe home with you, so you can make some to share with all of your other friends. Crafts for the kids too! Admission by cash donation. http://calendar.mcdougallcottage.ca/EventsList/Detail/2018-03-30-1300-Hot-Cross-Bun-Making-Demonstration-and-Kids-Craft-
Meet The Easter
Bunny @ Kitchener Market 10am-Noon

camera along to take a photo with the bunny! A non-perishable item or a 2
dollar donation to the Waterloo Region Food Bank is required by each person
attending. http://www.kitchenermarket.ca/en/Calendar/Details.aspx?Id=d12b5711-fd58-4aca-ae71-cf3d73d75fb2
