Nearby our cottages is The Horse and Pony Protection Association of Newfoundland and Labrador, (HAPPA-NL) a sanctuary where you are free to visit (or volunteer!) – which I did with the beautiful Berry and my beautiful daughter, Kathryn, this past Christmas.
HAPPA-NL is the only organization of its kind in Eastern Canada, and their policy is never to turn away an equine in need. Plus, it’s a great place for a photo-op!
HAPPA-NL is also the second passion of famous Newfoundland artist, Whiteway resident and new friend, Clifford George. Clifford will be having an exhibition called The Presence of Absence at the Christina Parker Gallery in St. John’s from March 16th-April 7th. I can’t recommend checking out this exhibit enough – Cliff is one of this province’s great treasures, and his work is truly stunning.
