#buildandmaintain night is on for Thursday.
Meet at Austin’s for 6:30, and we can distribute from there. Plan is to use the trimmers on the trails that need it most. Likely Firebreak, stinger, ridge roller.
See you there!

With some heavy lifting and delivery help from Ryland, Mike, and Trevor (Ry-Lynn Specialties Ltd) we beefed up the picnic table situation in the bike park tonight. If you have suggestions on where in the park the wooden ones should go, put it in the chat. Thanks guys!

Compaction of North Firebreaker is complete and the Wall Ride & Ogopogo are ready to ride!
Enjoy ๐

๐ง Trail Update: Firebreaker (North Section) ๐ง
Work continues on the North Section of Firebreaker as we work to improve the trail. For your safety, this section is temporarily closed until the work is complete.
@hootsinc crew has worked hard to build us a wall ride! and our hard working volunteers have put in the work on weekly maintenance nights to build the new Ogopogo feature.
Trail compaction is still needed before we can open the trail.
Thank you for your patience and support as we make Firebreaker even better! ๐

๐งCOMMUNITY WORK BEE SCHEDULED:
๐ฃYou may have noticed some flagging in between Austin’s and Fire Breaker in recent weeks. The ECA has about 3km ๐ฎ of switch back trail planned for building on the West End of the park in coming weeks and in order to do so we need to clear some brush. Exciting!๐
๐ชYour help with some clearing of trail for this summers new trail construction would be greatly appreciated to give our trail builders a head start.
๐

๐Where: Meet at Austin’s West.

๐Come on out for 30 minutes, an hour, the morning, the afternoon or the whole day if you are able. Every little bit of effort can help towards this new build. ๐

๐ง Repair to the North Bridge Boardwalk was completed last Friday. ๐
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend #buildandmaintain nights in the last few weeks to help with the reroute of the board walk away from the undermining at the creek.
Maintenance nights are held weekly, usually on Thursday evenings, watch our socials for a time, meeting location and project announcement. We welcome all hands to help if they are able :) ๐

๐ฃVandalism hurts everyone.
It’s more than just marker, spray paint or broken 4x4’s, it’s a sign of disrespect to our trail system and community. Every act of vandalism costs money ๐ฐ to repair, takes away volunteers time โณ and makes the area feel less safe. ๐
Let’s take pride in our trail system and community and protect it. ๐
๐Respect the trail system that’s maintained by volunteers and respect each other.
Come out and hike, bike or run our trails but please leave your sharpies at home.

๐ฃ There will be workers / construction on fire breaker just north of Austin’s as well as
traffic down the quad trail in the next few days. Please watch for workers in these areas. It's going to be cool... we promise.๐

We are moving the #buildandmaintain night to FRIDAY May 30. Work continues on the north bridge boardwalk. This should get it wrapped up!

#buildandmaintain nights this Thursday. We will be continue working on the boardwalk by the north bridge.
Meet at the toboggan hill.
Gloves and closed toes footwear are a good idea.

๐งTrail Maintenance work to the board walk at the North Bridge is in progress. The boardwalk is being rerouted once again due to undermining at the creek. Patience Please ๐
A reminder that Trail Maintenance nights take place on Thursday evenings, weather dependent. You're always welcome to join in๐, sometimes we just forget to update on socials ๐
