Everyone is invited to join the Friends of The Cataraqui Trail and Cataraqui Conservation on a family-friendly fundraising Quest.
Participants can choose to bike or hike the Cataraqui Trail and find clues to help fill out their Quest passport, with a cool prize awaiting those that complete the task. The Cataraqui Trail Quest began May 20 and runs until Sept. 12. This is a great way for adventurers to get outside, enjoy the fresh air, and explore parts of the Cataraqui Region that they may never have visited before. Those choosing to participate in the Cat Trail Quest fundraiser are asked to register in advance at https://cataraquiconservation.ca/pages/cat-trail-quest. After they complete their registration, they will get an email with a PDF download of their passport. Follow the clues in the passport, fill in the activities, then go back to the website, click on the ‘complete quest’ button and answer the question correctly to complete the hunt.
Everyone who completes the quest by answering the questions correctly and returned the survey by Oct. 14 will receive a prize. There are different levels of difficulty for different age groups.
