Fat biking at Fundy. Parks Canada/Nigel Fearon by Kathryn Hallett
The Friends of Fundy, incorporated as the Fundy Guild, is a non-profit, charitable organization that works to increase public awareness and enjoyment of the natural and cultural heritage of Fundy National Park and its surrounding communities. We work closely with Fundy National Park and other partners, such as the UNESCO-de-signated Fundy Biosphere Reserve, on events such as the Rising Tide Festival, Fundy Salmon Recovery, and the Fundy All Nations Pow-wow. We operate two gift-shop locations within the park, Outpost East and Outpost West; all proceeds are reinvested into park and community-identified goals.

You may have heard of the Fundy Circuit ULTRA presented by Outdoor Elements. Produced by the Friends of Fundy/Fundy Guild, it’s the largest trail-running event in Atlantic Canada! The event brings hundreds of runners—along with their families and supporters—into the Fundy region every September. In 2018, the Community Trail Micro Grant was created from the Fundy Circuit ULTRA registration fees. The micro-grant encourages and supports sustainable trail development and use throughout the Fundy region. Communities who welcome and host trail users can benefit from a vibrant trail economy and the social and health benefits that accompany it. The Elgin Eco Association received the 2018 micro-grant.
Feb. 16: Tramp & Tap The Friends of Fundy/Fundy Guild Inc. are hosting the first “Tramp & Tap” at Fundy National Park. Picture “Pedal and Pint” but with snowshoes instead of bikes! Meet at the Chignecto Pavilion at 6pm for a 1- to 1.5-hr tramp on the winter trails. Then join Friends of Fundy at Holy Whale Brewing in Alma for beer. A limited number of snowshoes are available for rent.
Feb. 18: Family Day Fun in Fundy National Park For many, Family Day is the highlight of February. What’s not to love about a day off of work or school to spend time with your friends and family? For the second year in a row, the Friends of Fundy/Fundy Guild, Parks Canada, the Hopewell Rocks and Cape Enrage are partnering to create a hub of family fun at Fundy National Park. There'll be coffee, hot chocolate and cookies served at the Salt & Fir Centre, and fun outdoor activities, like tobogganing and fat bike demos with Outdoor Elements. Stay tuned for additional, unique experiences, such as demonstrations from Para NB. Follow www.facebook.com/FundyGuild.
Kat Hallett is the Community Engagement Coordinator at the Friends of Fundy/Fundy Guild Inc.
