Join us in November for two Walk/Talk's!
November 11 from 2pm-3pm we will be at the Scotsburn Trailhead and November 27 from 9am-10m you'll find us inside the Hector Arena in Pictou.

These walks create a space where we can share our experiences with loss and offer support to one another, while benefitting from the movement and being outdoors. It is not therapy, but social connection. Led by Rae Gunn, a local walk leader with NS Walks, these are free to attend.

Hey everyone!

The next week will be a busy one at the Park and we want to prepare families using the parking lot next to the school that it may be closed off at time to allow for large machines to do their work & deliver materials.

🚧Please respect any pylons/barricades that are in place and make adjustments for getting your child safely to/from school.

Thanks for your cooperation 🙏
