The Shuswap, British Columbia – There’s a new set of wheels in town, or should we say “wheel”. The campaign to purchase three TrailRiders for the Shuswap notches up this month with the arrival of a demo doing the rounds throughout May. The one wheeled piece of adaptable equipment has a seat for a disabled person to sit on and bars on the front and back for Sherpa’s to propel the Trailrider forward.

 Tuesday April 9, 2013 - It’s time to ride! May is Shuswap Bicycle Month and the perfect time to be outside. Bicycle Month is a celebration of human powered transportation, calling attention to the joys and benefits of cycling for young and old alike.  Save money on gas, reduce air pollution and stay healthy by riding your bike to work, school, on errands or just for fun.

 The Shuswap, British Columbia – Sightings of noticeably large bigfoot prints have been showing up throughout the Shuswap this winter! Snow conditions, combined with the hard work of many throughout the region over the last four years to blaze and maintain trails for snowshoe use, have resulted in an unprecedented explosion of local snowshoeing.  This Sunday afternoon, the Shuswap Trail Alliance invites you to join in a late winter snowshoe walk on one of the region’s iconic trails in winter – the Enderby Cliffs – or as the cliffs are known in the traditional Secwepemc language: the Tplaqin trail.

The Shuswap, British Columbia – Once again, residents and community leaders throughout the Shuswap put their pennies where their heart is and showed their support for continued care and upkeep of our growing greenway trails system. A sell-out crowd packed the Salmon Arm Rec Centre and raised over $20,000 at last Friday’s annual Shuswap Trail Alliance Party and Auction, with final donations still coming in.
