It’s that time of year! It’s time to lace up and go skating! I’ve always loved skating outside, preferably on a lake. Lily Lake is ready and open for skating. I dusted off my skates for the first time this year (2022) and went out. Honesty, my skates and I were both a bit rusty, but it was amazing! There is nothing quite like skating outside when it’s snowing! A big thank you to the City of Saint John for maintaining and checking the ice for thickness.

Respectfully acknowledge that I am located in the Traditional Wəlastəkwiyik land. And that this area is on the unceded and unsurrendered territories of the Wolastoqiyik, Peskotomuhkati and Mi’kmaq, respectively known as Wolastokuk, Peskotomuhkatik and Mi’kma'ki. These lands are covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship first signed with the British Crown in 1725, and then recognized and affirmed by Canada in section 35 of the Constitution Act of 1982. The treaties did not surrender the territory and resources but in fact recognized Wolastokuk, Peskotomuhkatik and Mi’kma'ki title, and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. I pay respect to the elders, past and present, and descendants of this land.
