Laurie Park

Laurie Park is located at Grand Lake, Nova Scotia.

Only minutes from metro Halifax/Dartmouth, Laurie Provincial Park is the perfect escape from the urban rush, yet the park is close enough for day trips in to visit the many attractions found in the metro area. The quiet lakeside setting offers a wide range of outdoor opportunities including camping, canoeing, water skiing, fishing, and swimming.

Over the last year there has been extensive upgrades to Laurie Park.  As a result of this work, the park will not open this year until June 29th.  Closing will take place on September 5th.

Fall River and Area Business Association

There is a new association in the Fall River area formed for businesses.  HalifaxNewsNet recently reported about the formation of The Fall River and Area Business Association:

Promote, support, and be a voice of business in our communities is the motto of the new Fall River and Area Business Association, or it will be when the association is up and running. If involved businesses had their way, it would be sooner rather than later, but it all takes time.

The first meeting was held on March 30th at the Gordon R. Snow Community Centre on Fall River Road and a second meeting is scheduled for June 8th.  That meeting will also be at the Gordon R. Snow Community Centre and it will take place from 7pm until 9pm.  A temporary website has been setup here.
