Follow New Signs to Find Our Trail Chairs
We are currently installing new signage on the five trails featuring pairs of colourful adirondack chairs: VV&E West, Upper Dam Site Viewpoint, Trans Canada Trail (North Fork section and the Kettle River Heritage Trail), and along the Goat Mountain Trail (left). The signs were made by Camilla Dupuis, with funding from the Phoenix Foundation's Neighbourhood Small Grants program. Our thanks to them, and the volunteers who installed the signs.
