Airdrie Business Scavenger Hunt |
|
The 2nd Airdrie Business Scavenger Hunt 2022
Your business is invited by the Kiwanis Club of Airdrie to participate in this year's Airdrie Business Scavenger Hunt during the month of May. The purpose of the Airdrie Business Scavenger Hunt is to promote small business growth, help residents of Airdrie learn about many of the unique businesses that are here and to help support Kiwanis Airdrie.
How it works:
Each business that registers will receive a Kiki, the Kiwanis Owl (printed on a cardstock) to hide somewhere within your store. You will also receive a poster for your window or door indicating you are participating in the scavenger hunt.
It is up to participants to find the hidden Kiki at your business. Once the Kiki is found, the business will need to mark the passport where your name is. Please ensure your staff are aware of the scavenger hunt.
Registration fee: $35.00
Prize donation: minimum of $20.00
This opportunity is only available for the first 31 businesses who complete registration and donate a prize.
Upon registration each business will also get a Kiki Cookbook to advertise in your store so participants can see what he looks like.

Please welcome new member Michelle Tasa, owner of Artpourings Studio to the Airdrie Chamber of Commerce!
Michelle is a certified Primary school teacher with over 20 years of experience both in Canada and in International schools abroad. Her training in Reggio Emilia, International Baccalaureate Concept-based learning and Project-based Learning have informed her understanding of how creativity can be fostered. She is also an artist who works in acrylics and mixed media. She is passionate about inspiring students to think deeply, innovate and create!
Artpourings Studio is a unique creative space that encourages artists of all ages to develop their skills. Artists choose their materials and create their own design. Instead of completing a common project by following step by step directions from an instructor, they are mentored through the process of bringing their vision to life using media of all types. Artists can paint, draw, sew, make jewelery, work with wire, make prints, do wood-working or construct with cardboard.
Classes are offered in textile art, painting, drawing, simple robotics, motors and circuits. Each month we are inspired by a new theme and special classes are offered such as Shadow puppets for Lunar New Year or surrealism inspired by Alice in Wonderland.
They provide a fun and affordable birthday venue or creative experience for small groups like Girl Guides or homeschool pods. Learning consultation services are also available for families exploring alternative educational guidance.
