HALIFAX<\/strong> – Last month we at Spacing Atlantic were urging our Halifax readers<\/a> to get out to McNabs Island to help with their annual clean-up. \u00a0 Now the time has come to reap the benefits of that enjoyable toil. \u00a0This Saturday the Friends of McNabs Island Society<\/a> are inviting you to celebrate their 20th anniversary with a magical island picnic*.<\/p>\n

Since 1990 the Society has been dedicated to promoting McNabs, Lawlor and Devils Islands as parklands and in 2002 their hard work paid off when McNabs and Lawlor Islands became Nova Scotia’s newest Provincial Park. \u00a0Fittingly, this Saturday is also Canada’s Parks Day<\/a> so what better way to celebrate then with a wild island romp suitable for all ages? \u00a0The day is set to be filled with music, scavenger hunts (among other funny games), guided birding, nature walks, historical tours, ghost stories and a BBQ! \u00a0What more could you \u00a0possibly want from a Saturday?<\/p>\n

Get a ticket- it gets you a day of fun on the island AND a ferry ride!<\/p>\n

WHAT: <\/strong>20th Anniversary Picnic
\n<\/em><\/strong>WHERE: <\/strong>McNabs Island <\/span>
\n<\/strong>WHEN: <\/strong>Saturday July 17 \u00a09:30 am – 5:30 pm<\/span>
\n<\/strong>HOW MUCH: <\/strong>Tickets for adults are $13\u00a0and\u00a0$8 for kids (food is available for purchase). \u00a0Get your tickets at http:\/\/www.ticketatlantic.com<\/a>
