Our Family

Head Coach / Owner

Our family moved to Grand Etang, NS in August 2020, Nicole had just enrolled in full-time university (online). She graduated in the Spring of 2023 with an undergraduate degree in leadership & business.

Terry is enjoying retirement while he hones in his archery skills, fly-fishings, and hunts.

We have two beautiful little girls, Samantha & Hanna.

Samantha is thriving as an Ember in the Cheticamp Girl Guides and is excelling at piano lessons with Gillian Head at Raveston Music School

Hanna has started her first year in French immersion at Cape Breton Highlands Academy and loves playing with our pets.

​

Our dog Norton has adjusted well to life here in Cape Breton, as an aging Labrador retriever, he loves going on short walks, swimming, and of course, napping!

Our cat Cheddar has become a welcome addition to our little family.
