Join Richard MacMichael for a captivating, guided tour beginning at the Fairbanks Centre in Shubie Park—an area rich in history where the Shubenacadie Canal connects Lake Micmac and Lake Charles. During the walk, you'll explore Locks 2 and 3 and discover fascinating historic features, including the Holding Pond, the Deep Cut, and the remains of stone blackhouses—temporary homes built by canal workers during construction. This is a fantastic opportunity to delve into the built history of one of HRM’s most beloved parks!
