Plans underway for multi-use Grand River trail
The Grand River Conservation Authority is is among many organizations interested in a multi-use Grand River trail that would incorporate other trails within the watershed.
Two meetings included representatives of local municipalities, tourism organizations and operators, GRCA, local hiking groups and members of the public.
A small steering committee has been formed to develop the trail concept and the first meeting took place June 16. The group has noticed increasing interest in inter-regional trails from all levels of government, organizations and the general public.
The GRCA will not lead this project, but will provide some GIS mapping, meeting facilities and limited administrative support. The eventual goal is for a formal association or other organizational structure to manage future development of the trail.
