June Social Event- Digital Scavenger Hunt | |
What a lot of fun and educational too! As a fairly new resident to this area, I learned a lot about downtown Nanaimo during our two hour digital scave nger hunt. We also met some very friendly Nanaimoites, who were anxious and ready to help us find all sorts of "photo sites". We ventured into the Palace Hotel, down into Muffeo Park, found the statue of the white dog on a leash and even discovered a kangaroo (in various forms).
