TRAIL REPAIRS: THANKS TO THE TRANS CANADA TRAIL FOUNDATION

After the disastrous rainstorms in July, two of our trails suffered washouts in numerous locations. Fortunately, thanks to the Trans Canada Trail Foundation, we were able to put the Lake William Wetland Trail and the Blue Hill Coach Road back in order. The TCT provided the funding needed to hire a backhoe and deliver several loads of Class A gravel into the damaged areas on the Lake William Wetland Trail as it is a registered part of the Trans Canada Trail. We thank them for their timely support.
