 Those who took in the Earth Day celebrations at Seal Cove over the weekend had a sneak preview of sorts of the kid of fun that could soon be a fixture along Hays Creek near the Civic Centre.

The North Coast Mountain Bike Association hosted one of the events of Saturday setting up a course for youngsters to check out in the parking area adjacent to the Seal Cove Salt March, with good numbers taking advantage of the Bike Sills course (see their photo collection here)

Towards their plans for a permanent home along Hays Creek, NCMBA had some big news to share last month with DP World joining the list of corporate donors towards the project, the Fairview Container Terminal Operation donating 20,000 dollars boards the project.

Other would be corporate supporters can learn how to participate in the donation program here. 

As they note, the NCMBA is hopeful of breaking ground on the Hays Creek project sometime this year.
