Is the solar aquatic wastewater treatment facility still functioning? I can’t get any information about it online, and I’d like to visit next month if possible.
Hi Caitlin,
There have been no public tours for several years, but I’ll forward your message to the person who maintains the facility who can give you more information.
My husband and I are already looking for a beautiful, peaceful area to retire in 2013. Bear River is such a lovely area and certainly has all that we desire.
He will retire but I will continue working. Could you tell me if a career working with senior citizens (I am a social worker w/ minor in gerontology) is a possibility in this area?
Thank you!
Hi Laura!
I work at the Job Search Centre here in Annapolis Royal….about a half hour from Bear River. There is certainly work with seniors in this area. Why don’t you call me or come in and see me! 532-0605
