VERY SPECIAL THANKS - The Bell Park Development
Association would like to publicly thank Mr. Gerry Leslie for his years of
leadership as the Association’s Chair.
We are very fortunate to have Gerry remain on the Board of Directors
given he was amongst the small handful of founding directors who are
responsible for making Bell Park trails a reality – a beautiful natural gem all
Mount Uniacke residents and visitors can and will enjoy for generations to
come! Our heartfelt and sincere thanks
for your invaluable community contribution Gerry!

SPRING CLEAN-UP, TRAIL MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS – It’s that time of year when
Bell Park volunteers will be doing some “spring cleaning” in the park. The amount of work will depend on how much
money we are able to raise to ensure that the trails receive some TLC after a
wilder winter than in recent memory.
Fortunately, throughout the winter we were able to clear any downed
trees from pathways but there’s still plenty on our “to do” list to make Bell
Park a safe place for you and yours to go for a stroll. Unfortunately, someone
didn’t report that they lost control of their car and smashed through the
guardrails at the park’s entrance in March.
We had hoped that the driver would come forward. In addition to the damage to park property,
we want to make sure that they are okay.
We will have to fundraise to pay for the repairs since we’ve exhausted
most of the money in the bank paying for the extra snow removal of the parking
lot this winter. In case the driver
thinks that the Dept. of Natural Resources will pay for the damage, they’re
wrong. The Province does not pay for
such things. It’s your neighbours –
volunteers all of us – who will have to find a way to raise funds to pay for
it. There is still time for the driver
who had the accident and caused the damage to come forward – we will forgive
you if you pay for the damage! Anyone
else who has information about this incident is encouraged to contact Crime
Stoppers and leave an anonymous tip.
WANT TO GET INVOLVED? HELP WITH THE SPRING CLEAN-UP & MAINTENANCE? Come to our April meeting and meet our small but mighty group of
volunteers. Also, feel free to contact
