The City and County of Grande Prairie have partnered to create an Earth Day scavenger hunt.

It got underway on April 9 and lasts until April 21. It is being used as a way to celebrate the 51^st birthday of Earth Day.

“There are 51 tasks that we are asking residents to complete in honour of the first Earth Day,” said Jessica Foley, the Environmental Outreach Specialist with the City of Grande Prairie.

The scavenger hunt will allow residents to participate throughout the city and county.

“This is a great event to do with families, kids and adults, it’s got tasks in there for everyone. You’ll be able to spend some time in the City, the County, as well as some time at home,”
