Bigs and Littles alike participated in two separate group activities this past April that included our annual Sugarbush activity, and going bowling.

The maple syrup flowed abundantly this year as Bigs and Littles came out to eat a maple syrup based lunch that included beans, pancakes, soup, ham, fudge, and the traditional maple syrup on a stick. They also collected sap from the surrounding trees at Lalonde Berry Farm where the activity was held. A BIG thank you to Andy Christie and John Lalonde for providing the space free of charge as well as most of the food! Everyone enjoyed being outside in the warmer weather which was a nice way to say ‘farewell winter'!

The second group activity, Bowling, was organized by Chelsey who just finished up her co-op placement here at Big Brothers Big Sisters Ottawa. Bigs and Littles came to Walkley Bowling lanes where they were placed into groups by age and had a great time getting to know one another while they bowled as well as enjoy a pizza lunch. An excellent time was had by all! Thanks for organizing Chelsey!
