Happy Halloween!



It's 31st October and our last day of the season.

Don't forget our children's party, being held today between 1pm and 3pm here at the Joggins Fossil Centre.
Operations Assistant, Jordan has lined up some great games, Matt and Brian have been carving some great pumpkin lanterns and our spooktacular cook, Joyce has been busy over her cauldron for days stirring up some tasty treats, including the giant jack-o-lantern cake below.

We have a ninja, Wolverine, devilette, ghost, witch, cowgirl...and Matt dressed as...well, Matt to be honest.
Hope you see you then.

Inspiring poets and artists - Mark Boon

The Joggins Fossil Cliffs are a special place, there is no doubt about that. For some, a walk along the beach or a view from a window can be enough to be a muse for creativity.

Mark Boon, community member and long-time supporter and volunteer for the Joggins Fossil Cliffs World Heritage Site recently presented us with a poem he wrote, inspired by a year of World Heritage inscription.

The artwork in the background is also work by Mark, who specialises in local landscapes.
