The Municipality of Clare is working on a beautification project for the Cape Saint Mary Lighthouse Park.
They took possession in 2017 and had the official opening back in July.
Larry Peach, Tourism Manager for the municipality, tells Acadia News they are doing a lot of work in partnership with a provincial program.
“We’ve added flag pole to fly the Acadian, Nova Scotian, and Canadian flags adjacent to the monument. We did some landscaping of the grounds, some fill-in seed around some of the areas that needed a little bit of work throughout the park, and we’re putting in portable toilets this spring, as well”
Peach, Tourism Manager for the municipality, tells Acadia News they already have some events booked.
“We’re excited that we’re going to be hosting two weddings this summer on the site and , also, the Fog Run event will happen in mid-July, will start and end at the park, so we’re really excited about the event potential at this new park”
The park also includes an accessible picnic shelter, viewing scope, and bilingual interpretive panels.
