THE CANNING HERITAGE CENTRE Jonathan Hiseler

Located in downtown Canning at 9806 Main Street, the Canning Heritage Centre is a museum run by the Fieldwood Heritage Society. The museum displays different kinds of items relating to Canning and its history, going as far back as the 1800’s, all the way up to the present day. Included in the current collection are several displays focusing on the life of Canadian country music legend Wilf Carter, who was inspired to become a yodeller after seeing a travelling Swiss performer play a show in Canning. Just behind the museum is the Borden Lighthouse, which helped guide ships into Canning’s harbour and has now been carefully restored to look as great as it did in the early 1900’s.

The Canning Heritage Centre is open Tuesdays to Saturdays from 10am to 5pm. Admission is free, and donations are welcome. For more information, call 902-582-7699 or visit fieldwoodhs.ednet. ns.ca. 7 June 25 – July 9, 2015 WAY BACK WHEN All photos courtesy of RANDALL HOUSE MUSEUM | 259 Main Street, Wolfville

This was taken of students in front of the MacKay School Building, Wolfville. The School had six classrooms, an office, and was furnace heated. Although the writing on the back says it was built in 1890 other sources suggest it was built after 1892. It was on the extension of College St., now Acadia St., and named to honour the Superintendent of Education, A.H. MacKay. It was built to accommodate 300 students. The photo comes from the estate of B. C. Silver.

WHAT’S GROWING AT THE HARRIET IRVING BOTANICAL GARDENS:

Lupines Melanie Priesnitz Nova Scotia is known for its wild lupines. They’re blooming across the province right now, giving us some of the prettiest ditches around! Although we see these beautiful pink, blue, and purple flowers growing wild at the side of roads and in non-cultivated ar- eas they are not actually native to the region. The Lupine's native home is Western North America. They were introduced as a garden plant here in Eastern Canada and have quite successfully escaped cultivation becoming a naturalized species. Lupines commonly grow along streams and creeks, preferring moist habitats.

Lupines have found their way into our wild meadow at the Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens and are putting on a colorful show. If you stop by the Gardens in the coming weeks, admire the lupines but don’t forget to stop and appreciate all of the beautiful ACADIA plants that are native to the Acadian Forest SPORTS THERAPY as well.
