The RA would like to thank those that reached out to volunteer for the neighbourhood watch. Due to low numbers of volunteers, however, the program can not run.

We encourage our residents to report suspicious activity around your home or others. Also report concerns of consistent speeding with license plate numbers to the RCMP.

As a group, we can keep our neighbourhood safe!

We were recently in discussion with Friends of the Blue Mountain - Birch Cove Lakes Society organizers regarding this wilderness area and its connection to Highland Park. They are interested in getting the word out to residents in our community, who would greatly benefit from a true wilderness area connecting our community to Kearney Lake:

DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS ON OUR DOORSTEP?

On the far side of Cox Lake, adjacent to the crown land (part of the Blue Mountain--Birch Cove Lakes Wilderness Area), is a privately held block now under an agreement of sale to the Nova Scotia Nature Trust. This 'connector block' will form a continuous, 11km stretch of preserved acreage all the way to Kearney Lake, contributing to the HRM-proposed Regional Wilderness Park. This legacy will add to the quality of life for all communities living around the 32km circumference of the total Wilderness Area. You can find out more here:

In these difficult times, we realize many are struggling to remain optimistic and hopeful of better times ahead. We are hoping this album serves as a reminder we are not alone—we are all in this together.

We continue to invite Highland Park residents to submit any recent photos that portray feel-good messages of support or friendship, or neighbours being neighbourly in our area--whatever inspires positivity, or makes you smile. We will continue to update this post as we receive submissions.

Please note: Any submissions will be made public and we reserve the right to publish only photos we deem appropriate for the project. Thank you to anyone who participates!
