RDN Golden Shoe

Many of you expressed disappointment that the shoe was not in its' place at Wildwood Community Park this past weekend. We apologize! A concerned resident hadn't heard of the Golden Shoe Hunt and thought it was garbage. Rest assured we've put the shoe back, although maybe not in the same tree, and it's there for the hunting.

For those of you who went out, and let us know the shoe was missing or marked the spot on the map with a note - THANK YOU! You are all entered into the draws for prizes, as you were definitely in the right place. For those of you who went out, didn't find the shoe but haven't been in contact, please comment on this page, or send us an email at goldenshoe@rdn.bc.ca and we'll make sure you're entered into the draws.

This community park in EA C used to be a home

with chickens, cattle and sheep.

The couple who lived there also planted beautiful trees;

we suggest you take a peep.

You won’t have to look far for the shoe

In the tree that is not new.

*Don't forget to take a picture of the shoe! Submit here or tag your social media with #goldenshoehunt2022 to be entered for prizes. Prizes will be drawn after the May long weekend, giving plenty of time to get out and find the shoes!

This southern river park is a great place to swim and play

on a beautiful sunny summer day.

Park at the Frey and walk toward the Fry.

You'll see the shoe under a bench as you walk by.

This park was named in consultation

With the Snaw-Naw-As First Nation.

The name of this beauty means “Seal Rock”

And makes for a lovely place to walk.

Near one of the benches with a view

Is where you can look and find the Shoe.

Clue #2:

We’re going to continue our “easy to find” streak

By hiding the shoe on a Top trail this week.

Walk or bike from the Industrial side;

find the shoe in a tree where it often likes to hide.

*Remember to not touch the shoe! Take your picture or a picture of the shoe, and tell us about it, put it on our map and tag it with #goldenshoehunt in your social media to be entered for prizes.

The first shoe has been hidden. Get out this Easter Weekend and explore this fabulous park! Don't forget to check out @RDNanaimo on Instagram for more picture clues.

Clue #1

It’s not just the ‘falls you want to view.

It’s the trail and bridges along the way too.

Park at Weigles, not at the Creek,

walk the trail to bridge #2 and take a peek.
