A dedicated park is expanding and in need of more money. Volunteers with the Vogler's Cove Community Hall have approached the Municipality of Lunenburg requesting funding for Maggie's Playground and Park. The group is hoping to expand its project over the next two years to include a multi-purpose court, mini golf, walking trail and a boat activity centre at an estimated cost of $163,476.21. The park is named after Jim and Jan Moir's daughter, Margaret Timmins, who died suddenly in February 2007 while vacationing with her family in San Antonio, Texas. Jan Moir says the park is a perfect tribute for her daughter.
"Nothing could have been more fitting for my daughter. Her deepest love was for her family and for families to be able to get together and enjoy a place such as we have been creating."
The group is requesting $16,000 from the District of Lunenburg to help with the project.
