All residents are welcome to participate.

The contest involves identifying 35 architectural details on buildings in a defined area of the city.

This year’s hunt will take place along George Street North, from Parkhill Road West to King Street. All details are visible from the sidewalk and may be found on either side of the street.

Prizes will be awarded for correctly identifying the most architectural elements on the clue sheet. This year, there are three bonus details for extra points.
