SPRING IS HER SPRING IS HER BIG CANOE IN BIG CANOE IN April 2, 2026

Greetings and Happy Easter!

As we welcome the spring season, we wish you and your families a very Happy Easter. This is a wonderful time of year to enjoy the beauty of our community and to gather with family and friends.

As you plan your holiday celebrations and family gatherings, we hope you take full advantage of all that Big Canoe has to offer during this special season. The Community Easter Egg hunt will be held on Saturday, April 4, at 10:30 am at Playfield Park. Mopsy and Flopsy bunnies will be there!

Also, a few reservations are still available for Easter Brunch, so be sure to sign up if you have not already!

We are also excited to share that Braves tickets for the Hank Aaron Terrace at Truist Park go on sale this week. This has become a favorite outing among property owners over the years —a fun and easy way to enjoy a day at the ballpark. Be sure to get your tickets early, as they are expected to sell out quickly.

Wishing you a joyful Easter and a wonderful spring season.
