Phyl Munday Nature House
Set deep in the forest and near the seashore in Lighthouse Park, the Phyl Munday Nature House is the perfect location for nature study, meetings, parent-girl hikes and parties, and Friday night sleepovers.
The Nature House has a small hands-on nature display about the Park in the Nature Room, a large meeting hall (holds 100 people for meetings, 36 for sleepovers), a small leaders’ room and a well equipped kitchen.

The Nature Room is staffed by friendly volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please contact May Loudon at imloudon@shaw.ca.
Guiding Leaders benefit too!
- Ongoing mentorship available to assist you with the program and Administration positions;
- Ongoing training opportunities in program delivery, leadership, communication, and financial management;
- Opportunities to participate in District, Area or Provincial Guiding events (Snowflake Ball, SOAR, Mix-It-Up, bridging events with other branches of Guiding (Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders), Discovery Camp, etc.), as well International trips.
- Networking with a large group of talented women who hold various positions within Guiding (unit leaders, treasurers, commissioners, etc.) and who are always willing to share their experience and knowledge with you.
- Opportunity to build and gain experience to improve your professional resume.
We are a team – you are never alone!
Encouraged! Many hands make light work. Having one or two people as co-leaders will not only lighten the load for each person, it will also give you someone to share ideas with!
