Profile of the Trails Movement in Nova Scotia

“Representatives of NS Trails and the Provincial Government have been meeting since 2013 as part of the Trail Strategy Working Group (TSWG). The TSWG has researched and chosen a process to develop the Strategy and has written a Profile of the Trails Movement in Nova Scotia, a background document to inform discussions regarding development of the Strategy. This profile provides a snapshot of where the trails movement in Nova Scotia is currently. We are excited to finally be at a place where we can begin to develop the strategy with your help…The next opportunity to contribute to the development of a Trails Strategy for Nova Scotia is to attend a regional engagement session in your area.” These sessions took place from April 13 to April 23rd, 2015.
