Our recent visit to the Diefenbunker Museum gave us a close look at Canada’s Cold War history. This underground bunker was built in 1959 to protect government officials in case of a nuclear attack and showed how the country prepared for a tense, secretive time.
During the tour, we saw rooms filled with historical artifacts, from the bunker’s planning areas to vintage furniture and emergency supplies. We learned about the steps taken to keep Canadians safe during uncertain times.
Our Halloween celebrations truly captured the spirit of the season! We kicked things off with a lively dance where everyone showcased their costumes and moves. We also enjoyed some trick-or-treating, gathering treats and soaking up the festive, spooky atmosphere.
Pumpkin carving was a big hit, with everyone putting their personal touch on their designs, making our decorations stand out. It was a Halloween to remember, and we’re already looking forward to next year's festivities!
We recently had a wonderful day at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum, where we stepped back into the 1920s and ’30s to see what rural life was like in early 20th-century Ontario. The museum features well-preserved buildings and interactive displays that gave us a hands-on learning experience, making history come alive.
We relaxed on the porch of the General Store, surrounded by historic buildings. We explored the sawmill, admired old farm equipment, and enjoyed the peaceful, beautiful scenery. It was a day full of learning and discovery.
This week, our group spent a beautiful day at Orleans Fruit Farm, enjoying the best of autumn. We kicked off the day by exploring the orchard, where everyone got a chance to pick fresh apples right from the trees. The orchard was full of ripe, crisp apples, providing a great opportunity to connect with nature and each other.
After apple picking, we relaxed among pumpkins and hay bales, capturing fun moments and enjoying the fall scenery. The farm offered a welcoming atmosphere, and we appreciated the chance to step away from the routine and spend quality time outdoors.
The BCRS community came together for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, uniting in orange shirts to recognize the significance of the day. We gathered to reflect on the ongoing journey of reconciliation and understanding.

Our recent visit to Fly 1000 Islands Helicopter Tours was a memorable experience. The day started with a helicopter ride, offering clear views of the Thousand Islands. Flying over the waterways and islands gave us a real sense of the area's size and beauty. The calm of the flight and the unique perspective from above made it an experience to remember. Seeing this region from the air was truly a highlight and gave us a view you can’t get from the ground.
Ever wonder what a day at a fire station is like?
We had an incredible time touring the station and getting a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a firefighter. The team was welcoming and excited to share their routine with us.
From exploring the fire trucks to trying on their gear, it was an unforgettable adventure. Seeing firsthand how much skill and dedication it takes was truly eye-opening.
A big thank you to the firefighters for their bravery and for letting us join the fun!
Last week we had an amazing time at Black Walnut Bakery, enjoying a variety of delicious pastries in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. From buttery croissants to the warm cinnamon buns, every bite showcased the bakery’s dedication to quality.
Located in the heart of Cumberland, the Black Walnut is a family-owned business who have been baking with their hearts and hands since 2015. They bake everything from scratch with love, patience, and care.
Our visit to Black Walnut Bakery was a true delight, and we can’t wait to return. If you haven’t visited yet, we highly recommend stopping by and experiencing it for yourself!
Our team recently went on an exciting trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls! We started with a Niagara Cruises boat tour, getting close to the breathtaking falls and feeling the mist on our faces. Then, we explored the Toronto Zoo, where we saw animals from all over the world. From giraffes to pandas, it was amazing to connect with wildlife and learn about different species.
We also cheered on the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, soaking in the energy of a live baseball game. To wrap up our adventure, we spent a thrilling day racing go-karts on the track. It was a fun and action-packed trip, and we can’t wait to visit again soon!
In July, we hosted our 2nd annual Nunavut Day Feast! We came together to celebrate the rich traditions and culture of Nunavut, enjoying delicious traditional food and participating in activities. The event fostered a strong sense of belonging within the BCRS community.
