The Order of Good Cheer During the difficult winter of 1606, in a tiny wooden palisade at Port Royal, on our Annapolis Basin, Samuel de Champlain created L'Ordre de Bon Temps — The Order of Good Cheer — a social club providing good food and good times for the men at the colony. A spirit of joy, cheer and fun improved their health and morale and helped them "escape from the winter of the mind." ![]() The Order of Active Living Four centuries later, we established Club 400 —The Order of Active Living to inspire people of all ages in Annapolis County to become more physically active all year round. Club 400 celebrates physical activity of all kinds in many different ways, and is part of the Annapolis County Active Living Strategy. Membership in Club 400 is absolutely free, and open to residents of all ages! ![]() Award Winning! Club 400 — The Order of Active Living and its partners are recipients of the 2007 Recreation Nova Scotia Mayflower Community Cooperation Award for outstanding cooperation for the improvement of recreation opportunities in the community and demonstrating creativity in initiating new projects that will lead to healthier futures in promoting, ensuring and advancing active lifestyles.
