West Island parks woo residents outdoors for winter activities
Published: 9 January 2020
Skiing, snowshoeing, stargazing and bird-watching are just a few items on the winter menu at local parks.
Winter in the West Island is a time when nature and leisure activities can dovetail beautifully.
Robert Prairie, a patrol leader at Morgan Arboretum, heads a team of volunteers that help to ensure a safe and fun experience for the many individuals and families who enjoy recreational destinations in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue.
Some of Prairie’s most special memories while skiing the 26 kilometres of trails at the arboretum are related to the birds that inhabit the 245-hectare forest reserve.
