Little Brook – Parish Hall, Crafts and Sentier de Clare Trail

When planning a stay in Little Brook, you can consider history, crafts and nature as distinct highlights. Little Brook Parish Hall represents a former community function and roller-skating events; the Sentier de Clare Trail adds a 42.4-kilometre multi-use trail to the area. For seasonal offerings and places to visit, it is advisable to check the latest details before setting out.

Community Hall and Roller-Skating History

Little Brook Parish Hall originally served as a community hall for the Sainte-Marie (Church Point) parish. The building also hosted screenings and roller skating. The first rollercade by the Little Brook Roller Skating Club featured six performances over five days, with sixteen acts each. This gives the site two distinct historical uses: a community function and social entertainment.
