Last week, I attended the Town’s branding review meeting.
While there, there was a clear recognition of the potential that exists in this
town...I’ve been thinking about that.
On this beautiful Earth Day, my wife and I took a walk along the short, but picturesque trail that runs from the Shoal Harbour River Bridge, up the river, to Riverview Drive Extension. (Watch the video and come with us along the
trail!)
It’s a lovely trail with all kinds of
potential. The Friends of the Shoal Harbour River (FOSHR) recognized and acted on this potential of this trail a few years back. They upgraded
the trail head, installed a couple of heavy duty trash containers and a picnic
table.
Now this area gets lots of use and
in the summer it’s become a real mecca for kids and their parents who want to cool off
in the river on summer days. FOSHR has done a great job, and most importantly, their work has proven the worth of doing more. The Town - or a group in the town, has
a golden opportunity to invest some energy into upgrading the trail and
clearing the trailhead/riverbank area to create more room for green-space, complete with picnic tables and potentially interpretation signage. We’re not talking about a big job, but one
that has lots of potential to further improve the quality of life in our town.
Have a look at the video and, if you can, see for yourself this week - and bring a garbage bag to help clean up the mess that you'll find along the trail.
