Walking Trails in the Crowsnest Pass

Good news, over the last four years we have been plodding away at building a system of walking trails in the Crowsnest Pass. On Tuesday we were presented with the Walking Trail Master Plan. We were told in conjunction with this news that we have received $184,000 from the Ottawa and $240,000 from Edmonton to complete our Trail System. By Spring of 2011 our Walking Trail System will extend from Leitch Collieries all the way to the lakes, linking every community in between.
Big hats off to everybody that was involved in this process. It really is going to be an accomplishment the Crowsnest Pass can be proud of for a long time.

This is wonderful news for the Crowsnest Pass, I look forward to walking from one end to the other.
However, let's hope people clean up after their dogs. Most owners are responsible and pick up, but some aren't. It would be a real shame if dog owners don't pack bags on their walk to pick up waste. I see it frequently in my neighbourhood, dogs deficate on lawns while their owners turn a blind eye and pretend it's not happening. As we all know, it's very unpleasant to mow or step in poop. Let's hope there are garbage bins along the route, and that dog owners pick up the waste.
