wind phone - CONTRIBUTEDDIGBY, NS – In the middle of the woods on the Van Tassel Lake trail system near Digby, there is an old green rotary phone.The Phone of the Wind is for people to call loved ones who have passed away – a way of maintaining the connection, having one more conversation, or working through their grief, says Jonathan Riley, the Trails and Open Spaces Coordinator with the Municipality of Digby.
The idea for the phone comes from a garden designer in Japan who lost a cousin to cancer and wanted to continue to feel connected to him. The Phone of the Wind on the Van Tassel Lake trail system near Digby was dedicated in memory of Robert ‘Bob’ Saulnier. It's to allow people the opportunity to call and feel connected to people they miss. CONTRIBUTED - CONTRIBUTED
The Phone of the Wind was dedicated in memory of Robert ‘Bob’ Saulnier. His son, Blair Saulnier, and other family members made a generous donation towards the trail association’s most recent development project.
