A vertical, scenic shot of a calm Kearney Lake during a bright day with a blue, cloud-streaked sky. In the center of the lake, a small rocky island holds a single, tall, slender pine tree with a few low-lying reddish bushes at its base. The tree and island cast a perfectly clear, long reflection onto the glassy, mirror-like surface of the water. In the foreground, dark, textured granite bedrock frames the bottom of the shot, while a distant treeline and subtle hints of buildings are visible along the far shore.
A graphic for Sir Sandford Fleming Park featuring a photo of a gravel beach meeting calm blue water.

The text "Sir Sandford Fleming Park" is written across the sky in a white serif font. The top and bottom borders are decorated with vibrant, stylized folk art illustrations of multi-colored butterflies, moths, and floral patterns.

"The Citadel Football Community is deeply saddened by the passing of Coach Mike Tanner. In 54 years of coaching football between QEH, and Citadel, Coach Tanner has coached his teams to 40 Provincial Championship appearances, winning a total of 30 between both schools. During this time, he has coached players who have gone on to win a Super Bowl, countless Grey Cups, Vanier Cups, numerous U-Sport All-Canadians and more. Also a Nova Scotia Sports Hall of Fame inductee in 2009 and recipient of the first NFL Canada’s Coach of the Year Award, Coach Tanner built an incomparable resumé as a coach. Accolades aside, Coach Tanner’s biggest achievement has been the 1000s of lives he has positively impacted over the years through his volunteerism and his invaluable impact on Football in Nova Scotia. Football would not be where it is in this province without his commitment and contributions to the sport. Our families, football program, and football community are eternally grateful for Coach Tanner’s immeasurable contributions to youth sport in Nova Scotia. The Citadel High Football Team offers our deepest condolences to Coach Tanner’s family and countless friends and colleagues. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone as we remember Coach Tanner. Rest in Peace Coach T."

A photo of a snow-covered heart shaped pond, with this poem overlayed: "There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, But Nature more. - Lord Byron"

The facilities will re-open on or about April 22nd, 2026.
🌲 Where Hemlocks whisper. In a park where trees stand tall and proud, A treasure waits where a stream grows loud. Then quiet again, as the trail dips low, Where moss and shadow softly grow. Seek the hollow where the branches entwine, far from the pond shaped like a Valentine. The prize is tucked where the hush runs deep, Guarded by a Hemlock, in nature’s keep.
