Thanks, everyone, for coming out for a sunny evening run around Vanier Park at its prettiest - the cherry blossoms were at their peak. Remember this when scheduling next spring's event on this map!
Description: Vanier is an urban park with mainly open areas, scattered trees and many paths. Children may move the pin flags so don't spend time looking for the flag if you know you are at the correct location and the flag is not there.
