Cheers to active outdoor living!Where’s Marian? On top of Signal Hill, of course!A lovely evening on the hill with little wind and blues skies and water.Sporting my Paralympic National Team jersey, I was thrilled to be back in a sledge playing sit-down hockey with my class.Such fun to have winter biking in our community!With the wind/snow combo yesterday, the skiing in Upper Pippy Park was perfect today. Our new back of beyond route meant we were making first tracks and loving having the place to ourselves…can you believe this is St. John’s? :-)TA’s Facebook Page
