| The end of the road in Conne River Newfoundland |
Last week I was very fortunate to be able to travel out to Conne River for a meeting with the Miawpukek First Nations about Climate Change.
The meeting went great, but more than than, I got to explore a part of Newfoundland that I never seen before. First impressions: what a beautiful spot! Although I think the terrain and geography of the area is very similar to that of the Avalon and the area where I live, it is always nice to see other areas of the province and see how other people live. Conne River is a small rural community, but in some ways, they seem to be doing more than some of their larger, more urban counter parts. Case and point: Conne River has a sidewalk. Now a sidewalk may not seem like a big thing, but it can be. It encourages people to get outside and, get this, WALK! And everyone knows that a little exercise can go a long way. It also makes walkers feel safe when going out for their jont as they don't have to walk on the road. Now mind you, Conne River doens't have an extensive network of sidewalks in their community, but what they do have it better than nothing.
Kudos to you Conne River!
