Announcement of Provincial Local Motion Grant for Shuswap Trail Development

This Friday, July 25, 2008 – 1:00 pm – at the Balmoral Trailhead parking lot (North on Balmoral Road toward Blind Bay from Hwy 1 – watch on your right half way down the road for the trailhead parking lot.) Please join us as the Honorable George Abbott MLA announces Provincial funding for the Balmoral/White Lake/Reinecker Creek trail project. The Shuswap Trail Alliance has been working for over three years with the regional district and province in the hopes of securing funding from the Local Motion program which is intended to support communities developing non-motorized active trail and greenway infrastructure. At last, thanks to an application made by the CSRD on behalf of the Area C Parks Commission in partnership with the Shuswap Trail Alliance last winter, we have been successful. The Local Motion grant allows us to extend the current Balmoral Trail project to include new sections within the wider Blind Bay/White Lake and Reinecker Creek trail plan. Come on out and help us acknowledge this important contribution to the development of a regional trail system and encourage further support for the Shuswap Trail Strategy! (Note: we are still awaiting word on a second Local Motion Grant made in partnership with the City of Salmon Arm. We are also encouraging the district and municipalities to combine forces with the rest of the Trail Alliance to leverage a more substantial application this coming winter. So be sure to let your local politicians know how important greenway and trail infrastructure development is!)
