Finding Eden
Bob Doyle, the Director responsible for Course Maintenance, has asked me to be Volunteer Coordinator at Eden. Please bear with me as I orientate myself to this position. My hope is that you don’t ever feel that you “have to”, “should”, or have any other forceful feeling about volunteering. Volunteer is exactly what it means, you do something because you feel it’s worthwhile, you want to do it and you hope some good will come out of it.
This year is expected to be especially trying because of the late season start, and in particular, the lost early green fee’ers and tournament revenues resulting from COVID-19. So, volunteers will be especially key for all golf courses across the province and many in Canada, including at Eden.
Going forward, I’m intending to post volunteer opportunities on our website, and at the course. If you see something you’re interested in doing, please complete the 
Volunteer Registration Form as this will provide me with your contact information, any particular skills you have along with your preferred times and days you’d like to volunteer.
You can volunteer once for an hour or every day if you like, there’s no shortage of things to do. NOTE: Volunteers, other than the mowers, will be asked to use their own equipment, gas and fuel, and bring their own refreshments. This is to reduce the possibility of transferring the COVID-19 virus and thus for the protection of the volunteers and staff by minimizing the handling of tools by multiple parties. At the time of this writing, it is not anticipated that Eden will have kitchen services at the time of opening.
Some of the volunteer activities require little to no previous experience, ie., picking up brush, cleaning toilets / portable toilets. However some activities are very skills oriented, ie. building staircases, installing windows, etc.. For that reason, the Volunteer Registration Form will assist me in organizing a useful volunteer data bank.
I will update the volunteer opportunities list as things come up but at the present, here are some volunteer opportunities which arise from time to time:

Volunteer Coordinator,
Eden Golf and Country Club
Good morning everyone.
As of today, Eden will be closing to everyone except staff and volunteers. As covid 19 continues to be a dangerous threat to society some people continue to use the golf course as a walking park. We are a golf course and a business that's been ordered to close. Lately there have been spottings of people golfing and cars in the parking lot which clearly is not allowed. The Premier is from this area and is saying to close. Let's represent Eden with respect and show our support. I know this is not what any of us want, however, the sooner we follow all the rules the sooner we could potentially be golfing.
As a state of emergency has been declared on our province Eden Golf and Country Club will be shutdown indefinitely.
We take this Government action very seriously and we should all be safe and take care of ourselves and our families.
With the uncertainty surrounding this Virus it could be weeks, months or longer.
Once this state of emergency has been lifted we will find the best options to proceed as a club.
Good Afternoon Fellow Members, Guests and Friends of Eden,
Firstly, I hope everyone is staying safe and positive during this very difficult time in our society. With that being said, the Executive of Eden have decided to temporarily open Eden Golf and Country Club on Saturday March 21, 2020 at 10 am. However, with that being said, some safety requirements and stipulations are being implemented.
Your health and well being is first and foremost.
The clubhouse will remain closed; including the kitchen and washroom facilities. At this time, Eden is not offering a place to gather inside.
The Proshop will be closed to entry by the public and our staff will operate through the side window. We ask you call ahead to book tee times and pay via credit card, if possible. Tapping your debit when paying would also be appreciated.
Carts will be available to rent and we will have staff sanitizing each cart as they return. More information and instruction will be available upon arrival.
Flag sticks will not be in the holes; rather we will be using small survey flags near each hole, that we request not be moved.
Importantly, we also promote social distancing and respect each other's space whether you are a friend or a stranger. Please follow the NS Government Safety requirements especially if you have travelled outside of Canada.
We ask that you respect these guidelines; and simply enjoy a round of golf with your friends. Let's promote "Elbow Bumps" not handshakes.
Everyone wants this to be a positive experience in a very difficult time.
This is as of 5pm on Tuesday March. 17th if we have any updates or changes we will keep you posted.
Respectfully yours,
Mark Gallant
President
Eden Golf and Country Club
