Crossocerus? I have at least four pics of this little wasp. I think it bears some resemblance to @heatherholm's nesting Crossocerus, but of course I could be mistaken. It does not appear to have pale rings on the top of the tibiae, though:

To my knowledge, this is the first record of this species that has been confirmed by an image in the Canadian Maritimes. The only other record of this species accepted by ADIP (the Atlantic Dragonfly Inventory Project headed by Paul Brunelle) was of a sight record by Karl Dexter on June 26th, 1995 in Saint John County, New Brunswick.
For the record, this species was observed by Jim Bell, Rebecca McCluskey, and Denis Doucet. The species was also observed by Daniel Sinclair and Evan Houlahan on the previous day in the same location, but they were unable to capture it. Duplicate observations on iNaturalist are as follows: https://inaturalist.ca/observations/126749394 and https://inaturalist.ca/observations/126819592. Location accurate to within 15 m

Shows same stripe at the rear of the scape as this individual. If ID correct, then new for the park
Edit. This is a female as pointed out by John Ascher, so my reference to the other individual (which was supposed to be linked by a hyperlink) is incorrect anyway and also in error, as the pale stripe is not visible either. (Two errors in one ID: that may be a new record on my part. Doh!)
Nevertheless, this is still a new species for the park, albeit a different one, so heads up @neilvinson and @laura_clarke
