For those individuals that live along Spring Street, Robert Hill Street, Merrithew Street and Patterson Street, some slight traffic restrictions may take place as participants move along the routes between 8 – 10:30 a.m. Participants, volunteers and well-wishers are asked to park at the Rexall Mall and either walk or take the shuttle bus to the staging area behind the Hospital.
Prizes will be awarded for fundraising with winners receiving a variety of incentives including a kayak, outdoor pizza oven, Shania Twain and Cirque du Soleil tickets and Canadian Tire gift cards.
