We're proud to partner with NS Walks and Trenton Parks & Recreation to create this important program for residents of Ivey's Terrace Nursing Home in Trenton.

💚 NS Walking in Care – A Community Partnership in Motion 💚
Over the past few months, the Town of Trenton Recreation Department has been working in partnership with Catherine Droesbeck from Hike Nova Scotia/ Walk NS and Ivy’s Terrace Nursing Home to bring a special walking program to life, Walking in Care.
With the support of our incredible volunteers and members of our local outdoor walking group, Walkie Talkies, we’ve created an in-house walking program at Ivy’s Terrace that pairs residents with trained volunteers for friendly, purposeful indoor walks.
Thanks to the support of Ivy’s Terrace, Hike NS / NS Walks, and the Alzheimer Society, volunteers received education and training to ensure they feel confident, supported, and prepared to walk alongside residents in a safe and meaningful way.
✨ Training is now complete, and we’re excited to facilitate our first official walk next week! ✨
