The Farm – Keep Cool, Pioneer Style
It is HOT on the Farm these days.
This week is blazing as the dog days of Summer set in the animals are feeling it too, bucking for shady spots and taking quick dips in the pool (they have one, ya know) to beat the heat.
Our Hands-On Farm Friend, Popsicle, was feeling a little sluggish in [...]
The Farm – Cow Lips
Happy Canada Day.
While you are soaking up all of the family good times in the Valley that is celebrating the nation’s birthday, we are busting out our maple leaves and saluting the cow in Canada – in honour of our Hands-On Farm Friend Popsicle.
First, a few facts:
- Popsicle is a Holstein, the breed of [...]
The Farm – Meet Our Farm Friend Popsicle
We’ve been waiting for this all year.
Spring gave us a taste of Summery good times. But, now it’s official.
Today is opening day at The Hands-On Farm over at The Filberg.
It’s something our daughter looks forward to every year – weeks on end of getting to know our farm friends and trying to talk me into [...]
Announcing the Summer NeighbourWood Walk Series
It’s with some serious excitement that I announce our Summer NeighbourWood Walk series.
After such a fantastic response to our first series and some disappointment about our time choice, we knew we were going to have to plan for two walks this Summer.
So, here’s the scoop.
Our NeighbourWood Walk series will run for eight Wednesdays this Summer [...]
Final Spring NeighbourWood Walk – The Filberg
I am shocked at how little time six weeks actually is.
Blink.
From our first meeting out at MacDonald Wood Nature Park to the last moments of exploration and hanging out yesterday at The Filberg, CVK’s Spring NeighbourWood Walk series seemed to just fly by.
I suspect that’s because we were so busy having fun, making friends and [...]
Spring NeighbourWood Walks – Seal Bay
It’s official.
Mother Nature loves us.
Once again, the skies parted momentarily yesterday – long enough for the fifth in our Spring community walk series to be all sunshine and good times at Seal Bay Nature Park’s Swamp Loop.
This is a longish trail, made double long by the fact that there were creatures EVERYWHERE requiring a stop [...]
Spring NeighbourWood Walks – Miracle Beach
I admit it.
I’m an over-extender.
I tend to jam in as much as humanly possible and, some days, the To Do List gets lost in the deep crevasses of my jumbled brain.
After story time at the library, a zoom through the grocery store, lunch on the run, picking up a friend, the weather at Miracle Beach [...]
Spring NeighbourWood Walks – Puntledge Greenway
When I woke up yesterday morning to drizzle and chill, I seriously wondered whether we’d hit the trail for our weekly community walk.
Happily, I trusted the weather predictors (dangerous territory) and it turns out that while they were totally wrong about bright sunny skies this morning (where’s my 26 degrees I dreamed about all night?), [...]
Our Very First NeighbourWood Walk
We couldn’t have asked for a more awesome day to kick off the Spring series of NeighbourWood Walks over at MacDonald Wood Nature Park yesterday.
The sunshine and low tide meant this fun walk through the forest turned into a great afternoon checking out crabs and snails and logging serious splashing in with some new friends.
You [...]

Want to go for a walk?
With the weather warming, little feet in need of a good run and an itch to explore the region together, we are excited to invite you to join us for NeighbourWood Walks – a series of weekly community walks at spots around the Valley where you can explore the trails, [...]
Holiday Fun – Winter Solstice & Family Weekends
As I stood at the kitchen window looking out at complete darkness about 7:15 this morning, I realized that today and its legendary darkness marks the beginning of Winter around these parts.
What the Friday before Christmas also means is that the Valley is JAMMED with families in town for the holidays – as was evident [...]
