The Friends of Presqu'ile Park are launching a project to revitalize the Nature Centre at Presqu'ile Provincial Park. Part of that project will be to transform the garage into a 4-season classroom where educational nature programming can be delivered in cold or inclement weather. The classroom can also be used as a meeting room or a space for adult education classes.
