In addition to pollinating plants in the local area, the bees quickly set to work producing Wesley Clover Parks honey. The first batch was harvested in late July, and it is delicious!

LEARN —— The Forest School summer camps were sold out for the full season. Regular fall programming starts up in September, and includes full- day sessions for school-aged kids, half-days for preschooler, as well as Parent & Child programs. This Forest School remains the only one of its kind in the National Capital Region.

PLAY —— Construction began on four additional grass sports fields to comple- ment the existing (and now-lighted!) FIFA-grade turf field installed at the Parks last fall. In partnership with both the West Ottawa Soccer Club (WOSC) and the Ottawa Sports and Social Club (OSSC), these fields will soon host a variety of sports including soccer, flag football, Ultimate Frisbee and more.

RIDE —— The Ian Millar School of Horsemanship enjoyed another sold-out series of summer-camps during the Quarter, with continual growth in participation now pushing this program to near capacity at more than 300 riders per week.

—— Ottawa Horse Day drew more than 5,000 spectators to the Parks on the first Saturday in June, more than doubling the event attendance from last year. Plans and capabilities are in place to grow things fur- ther in the coming years, so stay tuned for more news as it develops.

—— The Ottawa Equestrian Tournaments, which over a two week period included both the Ottawa National and the Ottawa International Horse Shows, met with overwhelming demand and success. Despite increasing the stabling for competitor horses to 725 stalls, spaces were oversold in the first week of the show and sold out in the second week. Attendance expectations were also surpassed, with more than 20,000 guests visiting the site over the two weeks. The Parks was hon- oured to have the newest member of the Canadian Olympic Show Jumping Team, Amy Millar, also stop by during the International show and provide a preview of what was to come at the now-concluded Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. 
