Our Community-Run Marine Park

We would like to thank all the volunteers from both Ross Ferry Fire Hall and Ross Ferry Stewardship Society for another wonderful Seniors Supper. Our community really enjoys this special treat every year around Valentine’s Day.

Big thanks to the Victoria County Community Health Board for their donation to the Ross Ferry Seniors Supper. With this donation we were able to offer our attendees a beautiful breadbasket of fruits and veggies to take home. All fruits and veggies are local from Eyking Family Farms, Pan Cape Breton Food Hub Co-op and United Farmers Co-op.

We would like to thank the congregation of St. James Knox Church for their generous donation to the Ross Ferry Stewardship Society. The Ross Ferry Marine Park couldn’t be the beautiful spot it is today without the support of our community - it’s amazing what can be accomplished when we all support eachother!

What a successful celebration and always happy to see so many people enjoying our community park.

​

There were great tunes to be heard by Eddie Cummings, lots of shopping happening at the Ross Ferry Farm Gate Pop-Up Market and a beautiful day to have fries and hot dogs out in the sun. 

​

Hope to see you next year on Canada Day and Labour Day. Enjoy the rest of your Summer.

​

Don't forget, we need your support to maintain this beautiful park. Consider purchasing an annual membership or make a donation.

Thank you to the Municipality of Victoria, both Provincial and Federal Government and local sponsors for your ongoing and generous support. 

​

With the beautification program grant from last year, we were fortunate to create and renovate the garden beds, designed by our local designer Douglas Brown along with many volunteers. We hope you enjoyed it!

​

Our volunteers and members are the reason and the back-bone of why Ross Ferry Marine Park is one of a kind community park. 

​

Enjoy is now and forever! Happy Canada Day and thanks for visiting.

​​I want to express my gratitude to all the visitors coming by and celebrate the Ross Ferry Marine and Provincial Park today. I also want to thank you our guest-speakers: The Honourable Keith Bain, our councilor of Victoria Municipality (district 5) Fraser Patterson, a former Chair of Ross Ferry Stewardship Society, John Hugh Edwards and Mark Eyking for making this day such a special day. Our Community Park has grown thanks to all the volunteers through the years and we so much appreciate that you have helped us to create an oasis and a destination place to be and enjoy nature and of course our Fries, Hot Dogs and Sausages. So that said the park will be closing up after a wonderful season, but is still yours to enjoy all year around. Fall and Winter and Spring. The outdoors gym and the trail are there for you. But no Fries. See you next year and Thank you again for visiting us

A project is set to bring more beauty and vibrancy to Victoria County thanks to an investment by the Houston Government, Victoria-The Lakes MLA Keith Bain said today.

"Investments like this have a lasting positive impact," said MLA Bain. “Beautification serves to make our communities even more enjoyable both for residents and visitors.”

This local investment is one of 29 projects across the province benefitting from a $557,000 investment through the Beautification and Streetscaping Program, an initiative that provides funding to help municipalities create beautiful spaces within their communities.​
