The Calgary Zoo/Wilder Institute is hosting an easter eggstravaganza all weekend long.

Speaking of treats for animals, there will be an Easter Egg Hunt for Dogs in Calaway Park’s south field with National Service Dogs on Good Friday starting at 10 a.m.
Puppies will be able to sniff out thousands of colourful eggs hidden around the park, and they’ll even get a gift bag too!
All proceeds raised during the event will go directly to National Service Dogs, according to Calaway Park.
Those looking for a more scheduled Easter event can register for Heritage Park’s Easter Tea event.
It will be held at the Famous 5 Centre of Canadian Women from April 18 to 20, and an Easter Sunday brunch on April 20 will also be held.
The Gasoline Alley Museum there will also be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. all weekend.
Restaurants
Aside from all of the chocolate eggs that will be served up this weekend, many restaurants in Calgary will serve brunch, including Heritage Park, the Calgary Zoo and the Valley Ridge Golf Club.
