I have always heard wonderful things about Ecology Park located off Ashburnham Drive, but had never been there... until today. I was completely amazed by this secret little garden that we are so lucky to have in our city. It was a bustling spot with children admiring the scents of the garden, while parents gathered up plants to purchase. If you haven't yet done so, I highly recommend a visit there. Check out their calendar for upcoming events, and contact them to learn more about summer day camp offerings.

Lots of local folks gathered at Beavermead Park today to celebrate National Canoe Day. With children's activities, continuous paddling opportunities, a BBQ, displays from the Trent Severn Antique & Classic Boat Association and musical entertainment, there was something for everyone. I was able to participate in the family paddle and enjoyed the calmness of the water while learning about the Canadian Canoe Museum and its history from our guide Barry. —PtboCanada's Julie Morris

The beats of drumming could be heard throughout Del Crary Park on Saturday as the Ode'min Giizis Festival continued hosting their Traditional Gathering from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. With storytelling, art exhibits, food, vendors, drumming and dancing, the park was a flurry of activity on an absolutely beautiful Saturday afternoon.
