Frequently Asked Questions

GENERAL

Q: When and where is the WFCU Credit Union Easter Egg Drop taking place?

WHEN: Saturday, March 30, 2024

WHERE: The Vollmer Culture and Recreation Complex (2121 Laurier Dr., LaSalle ON N9J 0B4)

Check-in begins at 10:00 AM. All registered children must check in to receive their Easter Egg collection bag and be eligible to participate in the egg collection. Check-in ends at 11:00 AM.

Q: Will there really be a helicopter dropping Easter eggs? Is that safe?

Yes! Our helicopter pilot is an experienced egg dropper, and the drop will comply with all safety regulations. The crowd will wait on the sidelines while the helicopter releases empty toy eggs in the designated area at a safe distance from the crowd. Once the drop is complete, children will then collect and redeem the eggs for Easter goodies.

REGISTRATION

Q: What age do children need to be to participate?

Children between the ages of 2 and 10 are eligible to participate in collecting the Easter eggs. There will be three separate egg drops for each age category. This ensures that all children have a fair chance to gather Easter eggs.

Spectators of all ages are welcome and encouraged to attend. Registration is not required for spectators.

Q: Do children need to register to participate?

Yes. All children must be pre-registered to participate. Please visit WFCU's website and/or social media channels for news and updates regarding registration. Please note that children over ten and under two cannot participate.

Q: How do I register?

We're now sold out! Please print and bring your ticket to the event, or be prepared to show your confirmation email.

Q: I am registered; now what?

Great! You should be hearing from us soon via email. If you do not receive an email, please check your spam/junk folder.

EGG COLLECTION

Q: Do we need to bring our own Easter basket to collect Easter eggs?

No. Each child will receive a bag to collect Easter eggs. Eggs cannot be collected in bags or baskets other than those provided. The provided bags are yours to keep after the event!

Q: Can I help my child(ren) collect Easter eggs?

If your child is between 2 and 4, you may help them collect Easter eggs. Parents of children aged five and up are not allowed on the field with their children but can cheer them on safely from the sidelines.

Q: How will children know when to begin collecting Easter eggs?

Children will wait with their parents/guardians on the sidelines until they are given the signal to collect Easter eggs. Before the collection begins, the announcer will provide instructions to the children, and a buzzer will sound to signify the start of the collection.

Once the buzzer sounds, the designated age group will collect as many Easter eggs as possible using the provided bags.

Q: What do the children receive after they finish collecting the Easter eggs?

Once children have completed collecting Easter eggs, they will redeem their eggs for Easter goodies!

Please note that the goodies will be both peanut-free candy/chocolate and swag. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate those with dairy or gluten allergies.

WEATHER AND UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES

Q: What if it is raining on the day of the drop?

The week before the event, we will review the weather forecast and determine if the event needs to be cancelled. The event will not take place in the event of rain, snow, intense wind, or other extreme weather. All participants will be notified via email at least 12 hours before the event starts.

Q: What should I do if I can no longer attend the event?

If you cannot attend the event after registering, please cancel your registration. We want as many families as possible to experience the Egg Drop!
