(View Map)

If you’re looking for an easy way to enjoy our lakes this summer, check out Campbell Point Park!

To access the beach, you can park at #187 Lakewood Drive (parking lot or street parking) and, in a 4-minute walk down the gravel driveway, you’ll find our lake front beach! Very popular with families in our community, this sandy beach area offers easy shallow-water access to swim in the lake. This beach has lifeguards during the summer and also offers swimming lessons (Register through HRM Rec or call 420-SWIM). There are many shady spots to spread a blanket and enjoy a day at the beach.  You can also string up a net at the beach volleyball court for a friendly game of volleyball or badminton with friends or go hiking through the network of woodland trails that traverse the adjoining woods (remembering that private property is next to the park).

You'll meet all kinds of families enjoying the water here both daytime and evening in the summer!

Be sure to pop in and join the fun!

Support Our Local Youth

To the residents of our community,

My name is Kelsey Holt and I am a grade 11 student at Halifax West High School, currently enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Programme. I am a resident of the Hatchet Lake area.

I am writing to tell you about my upcoming trip to Poland where I will be acting as a young Ambassador for Canada with Coalition for Kids International. I am participating in the Coalition’s Journeys for a Lifetime program. In July of 2011 I will be going on a twelve day trip to Poland with five other teenagers to grant the wishes of many terminally-ill and underprivileged children in their homes and in hospitals.

After hearing about the extraordinary work that the Coalition does, and their commitment to children, I had no doubt that this was the perfect trip for me to participate in. Not only will it be a life-changing experience for me and the children I will help, it will be a great way to better myself and represent our community. I am seeking sponsors to help make this possible.

In order to participate in this exciting program I must raise $3900 towards the cost of the trip.  The Coalition has several methods that I can use to support my own sponsorship endeavours …

• Individual sponsors who support me will receive a complimentary copy of the Coalition’s 4-track Single and Music Video CD-ROM “Flight of Angels”. Recorded in London's Library Studios, by a collection of amazing artists and musicians, who all contributed their time, anonymously, to record and film the song as a reminder to everyone that each time a Coalition kid "takes off" to grant the wishes of terminally-ill and underprivileged children, they are taking a 'flight of angels'.
• Company sponsors who support me by contributing a minimum of $50 will have their logo and web-link displayed on the Coalition’s website for one year. Companies will receive an invoice for advertising which is a deductible business expense. Companies can send their logo to my email which I will forward to the Coalition.

More information about Coalition for Kids International and Journeys for a Lifetime can be found by visiting www.coalitionforkids.ca and I can be reached by contacting the BCHA. I would be pleased to meet with you in person at any time to tell you more about the Coalition and my trip.

Thank you for your consideration!
Kelsey Holt ☺
