The Shilly Shally camp, that Rosemary and friends used in what is now Gatineau Park, Quebec, was a destination on snowy winter weekends. Rosemary encouraged friends to bring their children to experience nature and the Canadian winter, only a few miles from her home in Ottawa.

When Rosemary arrived in Cole Harbour she fell in love with the harbour; its environment and people. She was a quiet juggernaut who championed the environment and culture of the place. By the mid-1970s the Cole Harbour Rural Heritage Society and its main operation, the Farm Museum were well under way. Rosemary played a very active and vital role in the acquisition of artifacts and archives while continuing to advocate for the establishment of the Cole Harbour Lawrencetown Coastal Heritage Park. The Farm and the Park became her driving passions. Forty years later we can honestly say that her efforts have been rewarded and her legacy is intact!
