- Lunenburg Spa and Wellness Centre Announces Winter GayCation? Getaway!
- emOcean, a Living Well Centre in the heart of Old Town Lunenburg is pleased to announce Nova Scotia’s first home-grown Gaycation Getaway Weekend, Feb 19-21, 2010.
- “Not everyone can jet off to Palm Springs or Key West during the winter so we decided to offer a fun-filled, affordable getaway weekend this winter aimed at gays and lesbians,” says Rosanne Balsom, president of the gay-owned and operated emOcean Living Well Centre.
- The package will include two nights accommodation in a local Lunenburg inn, a wine and cheese reception on Friday evening, three course dinner on Saturday night, followed by a performance by Canadian Comedy Award-winning stand up comedian Michael Best. Following the show, guests will attend the South Shore Pride Gay and Lesbian Dance at the Wileville Firehall. Sunday morning there will be a pool party brunch on the deck of emOcean’s indoor saltwater pool. “It’s always 84 degrees!” says Rosanne. In addition to this, the mostly-inclusive price for the weekend will also include a 50.00 credit for aesthetic services (relaxation massage, manicure, pedicure, etc), complimentary aromatherapy steam shower and use of the pool.
- The Gaycation weekend will be a first for the South Shore and quite possibly, for Nova Scotia. “There are many travel companies that cater to the gay and lesbian market but we’d like this to be the start of something home-grown with a definite down-home feel to it” says Rosanne. " One of the key elements emOcean would like to incorporate into this weekend is to be yourself – with no pretense. You can come to Lunenburg, enjoy the architecture, shopping, scenery and hospitality and not have to worry about dress codes. It’s a great way to bring people from all parts of the Maritimes (and beyond!) for a weekend of fun and relaxation close to home.
- Michael Best, a Halifax writer/comedian recently moved to Lunenburg and is very excited to be a part of this weekend. “It’s been great living in Lunenburg,” says Best. “I’ve been to the gay dance in Wileville and thought it was loads of fun. I think this is a fabulous endeavor on the part of emOcean.”
