KPDC Volunteers Set A Record!

Trail stewards heading in for Boston Pizza

It was nothing short of an outstanding effort! On Saturday Kilcona Park Dog Club trail steward volunteers – armed with wheelbarrows, wagons, shovels, rakes and 5-gallon pails – finished chipping the Hill Trail, doing it in record time and breaking all records for the length of trail that was repaired!!

Each year, trail stewards manage to rehabilitate about 400-metres of Kilcona’s trail network. But on Saturday, they widened and levelled over a KILOMETER!! of low-lying, uneven sections of the Hill Trail that turn into dog-magnet mud holes whenever it rains!

In sharp contrast to the nasty weather at May’s trail chipping event, volunteers were treated to a warm, sunny day with just enough of a breeze to keep the mosquitoes away. And at the end of the work bee, volunteers chowed down on Boston Pizza, courtesy of North Kildonan Councillor Jeff Browaty. Thanks Jeff!

A big shout out to Kilcona Park staff for breaking up the wood chip piles with a bobcat.  It really made a difference! It helped the chips dry out quickly and made hauling, shoveling and raking them much easier and that made the work go much faster.

Over 50 volunteers participated in this spring’s trail chipping work bees.  Thanks everyone! The carpet of wood chips makes the trails way more user-friendly and easier for people to navigate.
