Take part in this year’s 16th annual hunt for the golden shoe in regional and community parks. Each week a golden shoe is hidden in an RDN park and a clue to its location is released. Head out to the park to find the shoe, log your entry and maybe pick up a prize. Adventurers of all ages will enjoy the hunt.

Clues and instructions for the locations of the shoes will be posted weekly to getinvolved.rdn.ca/golden-shoe, and RDN social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) starting April 15 until May 20.
