Building the walkway and concrete pad took months of fundraising. (Submitted by Jeff McNeil ) comments
The new walkway and fishing stations at Cape Breton s John Bernard Croak Memorial Park might look like a simple collection of asphalt and concrete to a passerby.
But they are actually a sign of equality and accessibility built from the ground up by volunteers.
The Glace Bay park is where children take part in a program that releases trout into the lake and helps the children learn how to fish.
But the ground leading to the lake was rough and uneven, making it hard for children who use wheelchairs to get to the water s edge.
