To celebrate Easter this year, Willowbrook Shopping Centre is hosting a two-week Hoppy Days celebration, which includes photos with the Easter Bunny and bunny yoga sessions with furry friends from Vancouver Rabbit Rescue & Advocacy (VRRA).

From Saturday, March 25 to Saturday, April 8 families can enjoy visits and photos with the Easter Bunny during regular centre hours.

Families are encouraged to pre-purchase their photo packages online and reserve a timeslot with the Easter Bunny. Walk-ins are also welcome to enjoy some quality time with the biggest bunny on-site.

Since the pandemic VRRA has seen what agency’s Michelle LeMoignan describes as “unprecedented number of animals being returned to shelters” and abandonment rates are at what she calls an all-time high.

“We’re thrilled that Willowbrook is helping to support us and animals in need. Funds will be used to assist with medical expenses for rabbits currently in our care.”
