Motherwell Walking Trail Updates

This evening I was able to spend time with the Motherwell Walking Trail Committee. I was delighted to learn of some upcoming upgrades in the next few weeks.

  • the parking lot is to be paved.
    • this includes work donated by the RM of Kindersley to develop a proper base for the parking lot including a crown so water drains away
      • thank you to the RM for their contribution
  • bollards are to be installed to prevent vehicles, including ATVs, from accessing the walking trail.
  • signs are to be installed indicating "No Unauthorized Vehicles Permitted"
    • there is concern about the damage ATVs do to the land
  • former Councillor Doug Elmhurst has donated 55 pictures taken during our four seasons to the committee
  • new brochures are being developed and they will include some of Doug's photos.
  • the committee has negatives of the dam being built
    • does anybody know who can digitize negatives?
  • the Committee is looking forward to working with the Wildlife Federation to develop the water so it can sustain fish life and build a pier
  • the committee is still looking to aerate the water so the water quality can be improved to support fish
It was a good meeting and thank you to Ron Rogers and the Committee for inviting me.
