This is a great opportunity to support our public trails. Over the past few years we have continuously been loosing trails for the equine enthusiast. Thank goodness we have people like Mel who has been instrumental in not only creating this beautiful section of the trails but he also, with the help of John McDougall, maintains these trails.

New equipment is needed to keep these trails in the beautiful manicured condition that they always are for us riders, hikers, dog walkers and mountain bikers.

We would love to have you come out and support the fundraiser and yes spend a bit of money to keep the Trans-Canada trails we have in the condition needed for all to use.

We look forward to riding with you June 9th!

For those that can’t make this ride and you would like to help out this worthy cause you are welcome to send a donation. Either with a friend or by mail. A donation of $20.00 would also include one poker hand. Please contact me for more information on donating.

On behalf of the committee for the Trans-Canada Trail Fundraiser,
