TRAIL CARE UPDATE - March 2010 Michael Ingham (front), Gary Beaton, and Colin McClelland try out this section of trail on Friday, March 26, 2010. photo courtesy of Chris Lalonde Just in time for Spring 2010, the Friends of Fish Creek are proud to unveil the new single track trail network. Special Thanks to everyone who came down to Shannon Terrace for the Grand Opening Celebration on Friday, March 26, 2010. Cindy Ady; Minister of Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation, Jeff Grutz; National Trails Coalition, and Debbie Cole-Gauer, previous Friends of Fish Creek Executive Director, all gave compelling speeches about the need for this trail. For many years, volunteers worked on the trails in the west end of Fish CreekProvincial Park; making them safer, and more sustainable, as well as more challenging and enjoyable for cyclists and hikers. In September 2009, the Friends launched one of our most ambitious projects to date; the completion of the single track network. A massive team effort by the Friends of Fish Creek, the Park staff, and dedicated volunteers, combined with financial contributions and support from the Federal Government’s Economic Action Plan, the National Trails Coalition, The City of Calgary, the Government of Alberta, ConocoPhillips, and Mountain Equipment Co-op enabled this outstanding trail network to be completed. The Trail Crew has been working since September, and developed over 14 km of single track trail in the Park. This trail features a variety of terrain and fantastic views of this unique area.  |
