The Helen Schuler Nature Centre what a great place. This place is great for kids to explore and learn new stuff about plants and animals. Don showed us around and took the time to talk about all the different type of activities was great. This place has very clean washroom facilities and fun facts on the walls. There are two water fountains and you can also refill your water flasks. I enjoyed checking out the art work that must of taking a lot of hours to create out of paper. Photos don't do it justice.
This place is must see and it's basically Free. Thanks again Don for giving my wife and I a tour through Nature!

The big bird little bird program at the nature centre has been amazing for my almost 3 year old. Ruth has helped him come out of his shell and taught him so many different things! She takes the time to engage with each child and takes the opportunity to connect with them. For the last year that we have attended, no lesson has been repeated twice and with each one we learn something new and exciting. So much thought and attention to detail goes into each week, and I appreciate this opportunity for learning my little boy has. As my other children grow older, I can’t wait for them to have this same experience!!

This was an interesting place to visit.
KAITLYN, JOCELYN and the nice volunteer, DAVID, made our visit extra special with all their help and information of the area.
KAITLYN was so kind to look things up. She was absolutely full of ideas with all her experience of the area.
Thank you KAITLYN, we appreciated your help.

There was a movie one could watch; things for the kids to do; and they even had a living roof with a homemade game available.
Not too far away was another building which used to be the coal mine.
This building was so interesting with all it's information and with machinery from way back when it all started in the 1800s.

An engaging community hub. They have a program for youth this spring - finding birds’ eggs they have marked on a colourful sheet.

Considering the visitor centre is closed due to COVID-19, I found this especially impressive. The views of the Bridge from here are stunning.

Lovely outdoor auditorium/stage/seating area for performances during regular seasons. I hope to return when able!
