Players will search for a Golden Bucket sticker with a QR code on it based on a weekly clue. Once scanned, the QR code will take participants to a web page where a question on that park will be posted, as well as some REIMAGINE Nanaimo information to keep residents apprised of Phase 2 of the process.

Once the question has been answered, it can be submitted for a chance to win weekly prizes and also the chance to win the grand prize of a kayak tour for up to 5 people courtesy of Coastal Expression Adventure Centre that is valued at $300!

Clues will be posted each Wednesday from May 5 until July 28 on the City's Facebook page and Twitter feed (@cityofnanaimo) and Nanaimo Parks and Recreation Instagram (@nanaimoparksandrec) and on the website.
