Join us for a celebratory ribbon-cutting event, light refreshments/warm drinks, and speeches along with the unveiling of new trailhead and educational signs.
Community members, supporters and donors are invited to this family-friendly event to participate in a birdwatching hike and other activities in partnership with the Peterborough Field Naturalists.
Revitalization of the Jackson Creek Trail has included addressing points of erosion, installing culverts, regrading slopes, enhancing bridges and railings, resurfacing of the length of the trail, and the addition of benches and educational signage.
This project has been possible with a $523,917 investment from the Government of Canada, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario) Canada Community Revitalization Fund (CCRF), with additional funding of $61,500 from Trans Canada Trail. The community also raised over $30,000.00 in donations through the Your Metres Matter and Close the Gap fundraising campaigns over the last two years.
