Cash Dash

On 13th July 2019, the Bronze and Silver Visioneers explored Downtown Toronto by the use of TTC. The event was organized by the Gold Visioneers and aimed to equip the Visioneers with knowledge on the public transportation system. There were various checkpoint stations, including North York Civic Center, Toronto Music Garden, Graffiti Alley, St. Lawrence Market, High Park and Cherry Beach.
Unlike previous sessions, participants were divided into 9 groups, combining Bronze and Silver Visioneers. By doing so, they could socialize with other Visioneers apart from their usual group mates.
During the event, participants were not allowed to use Google Maps and search for the answer through the Internet. They had to apply the navigation skills learnt in outdoor training to race around town. It helped consolidate and reinforce their learning in a fun and active way.

At each station, groups had to finish a team building challenge as well as answer several questions about the place. At the same time, there were “anywhere challenge” questions, for example, taking selfies and singing songs with strangers. It allowed participants to step out of their comfort zone.
