NCC/HRM (Nature Conservancy of Canada/Halifax Regional Municipality) have not yet made a formal announcement about the “Etu’qamikejk Trail” in the SWP (Shaw Wilderness Park)* but the signs have been up for a few months. I have been getting questions about it, so here’s some info. about the name and the place.

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.
Happy Earth Day, Williams Lake!
Still a bit too cold for a swim, so celebrate with a song…
