BC Trails Day is on June 4, and we hope you can get out on foot, bicycle, wheelchair, or horse and celebrate Gabriola’s incredible network of public trails. Whether you have 20 minutes or a full day, there is a trail route, or loop that will meet your needs.
Promoting, developing, and maintaining a network of trails, boardwalks, and benches that provide diverse opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to access and explore island ecosystems, parks, shore accesses, neighbourhoods, and services is an important part of GaLTT’s mission. We believe that public support for GaLTT’s conservation work is enhanced when people are provided opportunities to connect with the natural environment.
Most of Gabriola’s trails are on public land but many of the key connections to parks and neighbourhoods would not be possible without the generosity of the 20 private landholders who have voluntarily signed trail licences with GaLTT. On BC Trails Day, let’s express our sincere thanks to those community minded Gabriolans who allow public access across their properties!
And don’t forget to take GaLTT’s great trail map with you. You can buy it (only $5!) at our table at the Farmers’ Market or at North Road Sports & Clothing, Mid-Island Co-op, Page’s Resort Group, and the Gabriola Visitor Centre.
Happy BC Trails Day!
