trail building

Les Amis des Sentiers de Bromont est l'organisme reconnu par la Ville de Bromont pour tout ce qui à trait au réseau de sentiers de la municipalité. Fondé par Marie-Claude Cabana, conseillère en marketing et ex-conseillère municipale, l'organisme s'est donné pour mission d'offrir, aux résidents et visiteurs, des sentiers accessibles à l'ensemble des usagers non-motorisés. La force des Amis repose sur le fait qu'ils agissent pour l'ensemble des usagers tout en reconnaissant les usages spécifiques à certains groupes.

Hilton Falls Conservation Area in Milton, Ontario hosted another successful Annual Trail Maintenance day with 40+ people volunteering their sweat equity into rejuvenating the trails they love.

Hilton Falls, under the stewardship of Conservation Halton, is one of two parks that offers world class mountain biking along the Niagara Escarpment. Staff at the park developed a detailed work plan for the day, with multiple teams dedicated to projects that ranged from simple pruning to advanced bridge building and repair.

Designing and Managing the Construction of an Off-Road Handcycling Trail System
Regina, Saskatchewan

Rewind to the fall of 2010. I received a phone call from an individual in Regina asking if I was willing to provide him with a letter of support for the acquisition of funds for the development of a trail system near his city. At first it sounded like a routine sort of deal but I quickly learned that this was anything but routine. Why? Because the individual was not looking to develop your typical trail system but rather an off-road handcycle trail system.

The Prince George Cycling Club (PGCC) was first established over twenty years ago. In the past few years they have worked on gaining access to and formalizing the Pidherny recreation area. The site officially opened in October 2010 to provide recreation opportunities for all non-motorized users. Pidherny is known for its advanced mountain bike trails and for having the only view of Prince George sans pulp mill.
