Stick to the path and obey all signs
Take photos of interesting things you come across or things you find from the Scavenger Hunt list
Send us your photos at events@sbca.ca by the end of day on February 21st or tag us using #SBCAFamilyDay2023 on Instagram or Facebook to be entered into a random draw for some awesome prizes!

This year when we were planning Fire & Ice for Family Day, Omicron closed everything down. We weren’t sure if we’d be able to book permits and decided to revisit out Family Day Hike and Scavenger hunt as a way to explore our community, and spend time with your family!
We have a number of beautiful areas to hike in and hopefully you’ll find something new!
Some hikes are easy and accessible, others are a bit more challenging. You may chose to enter the scavenger hunt as well. We’ll have a random draw for prizes for those that send in photos/videos.

The Scarborough Bluffs Community Association (SBCA) has recently entered its 5th year. With help from you – our community, partners and sponsors, we have had tremendous success with our vision: By the community, for the community, for a stronger community.
With this new year, we have some significant changes in our Board Executive. Hector Catre, Co-founder and Chair has retired from his position.While you may still see him occasionally volunteering at SBCA events, his day-to-day involvement with the SBCA has ended. We would like to thank Hector for his dedication, leadership, hard work, and guidance on engaging our community to come together in unity.
The SBCA is thrilled to welcome Julie Torani as our new Chair of our Board! Julie has been with the SBCA since 2019, and brings with her a passion for community building and engagement.
Looking Forward
The SBCA is currently recruiting dedicated, creative, and enthusiastic community members to be a part of our Board for 2022. We are a fresh and dynamic group of like-minded community members, with a passion for event planning, building community, and enhancing the neighbourhoods of Birchcliff, Cliffside and Cliffcrest in the Scarborough Bluffs.
This year we are looking for 2-3 people with a “can do” attitude, strong communication skills, ability to problem solve, and a fun-loving spirit to join our Board. Time commitment for Board Members is between 5-10 hours per month.
Please note that you will be expected to participate in and/or lead community events. We invite people from all backgrounds to send us an email, along with their resume or a letter with related skills defined, expressing interest for joining the Board at: join.us@sbca.ca
If you’re not interested in joining the Board, we’re always looking for volunteers. We are currently planning 2022 events, and will be hosting our AGM next month (stay tuned).
