SATA Brightens Up a Cloudy Day

^ SATA cyclists adding some colour to the landscape.

Last week we entertained a group of enthusiastic cyclists from the Shore Active Transportation Association (SATA).

SATA’s mandate is to raise awareness about the need for sidewalk

The weather was dreary that day, but twelve keen cyclists showed up for the ride, despite the rain. They began their day at Heritage Village, and arrived here around 10:30. Kim gave a detailed tour of the grounds, explaining the building methods and some of our recent programs and activities to the curious group.

Everyone packed into our newest building project, now dubbed “the Piccolo,” to learn about the various building methods that went into it. Now we know that our first artist in residence could indeed host a party of at least eight people!

 

After learning all about composting toilets, thatch roofing, and straw bales, the group continued to Owls Head Wharf, Clam Harbour Beach, and then back to Heritage Village to have lunch at the 1940’s cookhouse.
