Celebrate Recreation and Parks Month with Exciting Activities in Ponoka

June is Recreation and Parks Month across Canada, and the Town of Ponoka has an exciting lineup of activities planned, which include the opportunity to win great prizes! 

Throughout the month of June, the Town is inviting everyone in Ponoka to participate in our Recreation and Parks Scavenger Hunt, which will take you on an adventure to a different park each week. 

Here’s how it works:

  • Weekly Clue: Each Monday, we will release a clue on our social media platforms and our website that provides hints at which ‘Park of the Week’ you need to find.
  • Find the Park: Solve the clue, visit the park, and take a photo of yourself enjoying the location.
  • Submit Your Photo: Share your photo by direct messaging us on social media, commenting on our post with your photo, or emailing your photo to recreation@ponoka.ca.
  • Win Prizes: Each submitted photo enters you into a draw for our weekly prize-pack filled with goodies for all to enjoy!

Recreation and Parks Month is a nationwide initiative aimed at encouraging Canadians to get out, get active and enjoy the natural beauty of our parks. In Alberta, the Alberta Parks and Recreation Association (ARPA) has various programs and events designed to promote physical activity, environmental stewardship and community engagement. For more information on what ARPA is doing this year, visit their website at https://arpaonline.ca/program/jrpm/

 

"June is the perfect time to get outdoors, get active, and celebrate the beauty of our parks in Ponoka,” said Ponoka Mayor Kevin Ferguson. “We hope everyone in Ponoka will join us in this month-long celebration."

 

All residents are encouraged to take part in the Recreation and Parks Month activities and rediscover the beauty of Ponoka's parks. For more information on the scavenger hunt and other events happening in June, please visit the Town website at www.ponoka.ca or follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram @TownofPonoka

 

Let’s make June a month of outdoor activity, adventure and fun in Ponoka!
