Canadian Days is hiding a medallion somewhere in the City of Little Canada on PUBLIC PROPERTY and accessible to all.  (The medallion IS NOT hidden in Spooner Park.)   
You may search and enjoy, but do not destroy, the natural beauty of Little Canada.

The prize for finding the medallion is $200 and will be awarded on Sunday, August 3 at 4:30 PM on the Canadian Days main stage at Spooner Park.
