Dam Good News
Minister Kim Masland of Nova Scotia Department of Public Works announced that Build Nova Scotia will construct a new dam on Williams Lake and save this popular, well-loved, HRM lake.
Kids community curriculum
Exploring your neighborhood and its natural habitats is all part of the science curriculum for grade 4 students in the Halifax Regional Centre for Education. Learners are encouraged to have a “hands-on minds-on” approach to learning about the characteristics of different habitats and their interconnectedness in their own neighbourhoods.
Trout-a-Rama reels in family fun!
The McNamara Trout-a-Rama has just resurfaced. The two-year Covid-lockdown and the recent wildfire closure of forests and parks shut down this popular family fishing derby in Spryfield. The Halifax Wildlife Association (HWA) revived the sport fishing event at the beginning of June on Cunard Pond on Williams Lake. Families with kids, folks from surrounding neighbourhoods and enthusiastic groups of fishing buddies arrived early, eager to register, hook their free worms, and start casting. [photo: Cathy Vaughan]
