1. Ganong Nature Park - $350,000 target - A recent grant for $1.288 million from Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency will see the construction of a major community Learning Centre at the Park. The building will include meeting and service space, offices, a teaching/research laboratory, and a public display area that will include exhibits on history, nature, alternate energy, sewage management, and more. SCEP must raise $260,000 to match the ACOA grant. More at www.ganongpark.org.

The proposed donor/supporter wall is shown below. It will be located at the entrance, along the north wall of the Learning Centre building at the Ganong Nature & Marine Park.

The elements represent the white pine which was the dominant local resource that shaped the area, the moon which dominates the huge tidal cycles of the Bay and a blue background representing sky and water.

Principal donors will be represented by a brass plaque mounted on “rocks” that will be mounted along the bottom of the tree. Other donors will be represented by leaves of various size located on separate “category” trees depending on the level of the contribution. Please contact us for more information.
