You step off the sidewalk and the city opens like a puzzle — brick storefronts, a park pond that calls out with gulls and geese, and industrial edges softened by orchards pushing at the suburbs. In Abbotsford, the Operation City Quest scavenger hunt turns ordinary blocks into checkpoints; an app delivers riddle-like prompts, and a remote host nudges you by chat as you race the clock and other teams.

Conservation
