According to NS Lands Forestry, bear sightings have not increased this year but their locations can change from year to year. If bears have a source of food, especially now as they begin to bulk up for the winter, they will keep coming back.The biggest culprit to attracting bears is green bins. These should be kept in shady but open areas, well away from adjacent forest cover, with lids secured. Meat, fish, or bones/shells that are likely to develop a strong odour should be frozen and put in the green bin on the morning of pick-up. Yard compost piles should only contain plant matter. Barbecue grills should be kept clean and free of grease. Garbage cans should be metal with a secure lid and bags should be placed at the curb only on the morning of collection.Bears are large powerful animals that should be treated with caution and respect! Never approach a bear or offer it food. Please note that black bears are legally protected in Nova Scotia.For advice, please visit “How to Avoid Problems with Black Bears”: https://novascotia.ca/natr/wildlife/nuisance/bears.asp Read more ... The Lunenburg War Memorial Arena will have a delayed opening this ice season due to Provincial Government pandemic restrictions. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in a similar situation to other smaller Arenas across the province, where current Provincial recreation gathering limits – especially on-ice – have significantly impacted our facility use.After extensive consultation with our long-term renters and the Provincial government, we have made this difficult decision until Provincial restrictions are eased. We remain hopeful that the Arena will re-open at the earliest possible opportunity, in compliance with updated Provincial pandemic directives.For more information about the 2020/21 Arena season, please see the attached: pdfRecreation and Arena FAQ- August 2020(24 KB)We are pleased to announce that a new Arena ice resurfacer has been ordered for delivery in 2021. We thank our many generous community and government supporters for making this long-term investment possible.Thank you, and stay safe!ResourcesTown of Lunenburg and Recreation Department Covid-19 updates: https://www.explorelunenburg.ca/covid-19.htmlHockey Nova Scotia Rebound Plan: http://www.hockeynovascotia.ca/hns_12370_54037.html
