Mill Park Path

In 2009, and path from the roadway at Old Hastings road, through the park to the pavilion was completed with club funds.

The Medical Centre was built in 1973. The project leader was the Service Club which worked with local and provincial governments to get it built. Many local residents and businesses were instrumental in supporting this project. The Medical Centre Committee looks after renting the offices and the maintenance, repairs and upgrading of the facility.

Currently, two Family Doctors, a Dentist and a Registered Massage Therapist have practices in the Medical Centre.
