Yesterday's final St. Ann's Bay Health Group community hike of the season; 14 hikers and 6 dogs! Thanks to Winnie Asaphutchison for leading us through woodlot trails off Big Farm Road, and a shared meal of soups, bread and sweets afterwards.

Ben and Myra cool their heels at the end of our first Spring hike

We were blessed with perfect spring weather for our Jersey Cove Road community hike yesterday.

The St. Ann's Bay Health group community hike was afforded a glorious day to explore scenic trails including beaver dams, a waterfall and a frozen lake in West Tarbot. All topped off with a delicious soup afterwards! Much thanks to Ruth and Aaron for your hospitality!

Ultimately, she achieved her dream of being a teacher here in Canada, and was beloved by several generations of students to whom she taught French with much dedication.
