NATURAL RESOURCES--WILDLIFE PARK OPEN FOR ONE DAY
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rain or shine, the provincial wildlife park in Shubenacadie will
be open between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 10.

The Department of Natural Resources is sponsoring a food bank
drive, with admission to the wildlife park being a donation to
food banks in the metro, Elmsdale and Truro areas.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for people to get out to see
their favourite animals, enjoy a day outdoors with their
families, and contribute to a worthy cause at the same time,"
said Natural Resources Minister, Eleanor Norrie.

Guided tours will be conducted by department staff who are
volunteering their time for the day. Free hot chocolate and
cookies will be available and the playground and picnic area will
be open. For more information or directions, call the park at
902-758-2040.
