Winter Activity Kits Available to Borrow

Looking for ways to enjoy the outdoors this winter? The City offers three types of Winter Activity Kits, free to borrow for a five-day period. Each kit comes packed with gear to help you explore, play and make the most of the season. Options include snowshoes and trail maps, trekking poles and shoe spikes, or a family-focused kit with toboggans, snowball makers and kids’ skates.

These kits are a great way to try something new without the cost of buying equipment.

Water Leaks

Winter is the perfect time to check for silent water leaks, especially in toilets. Add a few drops of food colouring to the tank. If it appears in the bowl without flushing, you’ve got a leak. Fixing it can save hundreds of litres a day!
