Being near water can provide benefits for the mind and body including lowered stress and anxiety levels and an overall sense of well being.

Such was the thinking behind a new water installation on the Agricultural Campus this past spring.

鈥淢any of our employees were touched by the tragic events that unfolded across northern Nova Scotia in April of 2020,鈥� said Dean David Gray.聽 鈥淚t has been a difficult 18 months which was compounded by isolation created by a global pandemic,鈥� he added.

The 黑料吃瓜网 Faculty of Agriculture along with 黑料吃瓜网 in Halifax wanted to help in some small way. A water fountain was added to the John Higgins Memorial Garden in memory of those impacted by this tragedy.

The fountain is made of jet-black granite from Heritage Monuments in Windsor.聽 It is a 30鈥� x 24鈥� rough cylinder with a polished top.聽 A hole through the centre allows for the water flow.聽 A memorial plaque at the fountain reads:

In memory of the victims of the April 2020 tragedy and their families. Nova Scotia strong

It is hoped the fountain provides a peaceful spot for community members to take a moment of quiet reflection.

The fountain can be found in the centre of the Higgins patio area in Alumni Gardens. 聽
