Hello everyone…a few tidbits today for Fleming Park and a concert to support the Herring Cove YWCA. Enjoy the sunshine!

This spring, the Adventure Earth Centre located in Sir Sandford Fleming Park will be getting an outdoor classroom.

The city poster describes it as having a “covered portion with picnic benches, wood which is environmentally friendly and is the suggested lumber for standard use in all parks, a ramp to the lower portion to ensure accessibility for all community members and participants, no alterations to existing heritage building.”

Also in Fleming Park, a tender is out for replacing the stairs.
