Early Regattas on Ocean Pond Back in the 1930s when Ocean pond was mostly a Mecca for vacationers, there was even then a real sense of community, with various activities organized by the summer residents. One such activity was an annual regatta, with races held on the pond that year on Wednesday July 16, 1930. My wife’s family had a cottage there, and her father Ernest Shute, was involved with the committees organizing the regatta that year, acting as a timekeeper. For those interested attached is a newspaper clip from The Trinity-Conception Shopper, April 20, 1993 describing the event John Cornick Halifax, Nova Scotia   Submitted By: John Cornick
