Couldn’t help taking this pic when some of our local hero’s returned to collect their water tank they graciously left us in case we needed.

Sping was in the air this morning.
So was Signal 😆

All is well!

Huge thanks to all the Fire Departments who responded so quickly—
Little Harbour, Trenton, New Glasgow, Linacy, Pictou Landing, Abercrombie and Thorburn.

Thanks to the quick thinking of our staff (and farriers!), the fire was contained to a small room, and the barn was fully evacuated before the trucks even arrived. The crews had it out within minutes.

Power is expected to be restored this afternoon and it’s business as usual from here.

We’re incredibly grateful.

Added thank you to East Coast Pools and

Kala and Doug Maclean for lending us their generators.
