A LITTLE ABOUT SOAPSTONE

Soapstone is a gift from the Earth!

Soapstone’s name comes from its smooth, soapy feel. It’s technical Latin name

is Steatite. Soapstone registers at 1 or 2 out of 10 on the ”Mohs Scale”, which

measures the hardness of rock. It is quite soft! People have been carving and

sculpting with this beautiful stone for centuries.

Soapstone is found in many places of the world, including Canada, in several

provinces, sea to sea.

With help from the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program, Tatamagouche Centre is pleased to offer the Rooting & Connecting Isolated Seniors part 2. Free to all seniors (aged 55+) and youths these sessions will offer various workshops centred around health.
