Recreational Trails Master Plan

On July 18, 2022, Council endorsed the Recreational Trails Master Plan and the Notice of Study Completion was issued on August 5, 2022. The recommendations from the Recreational Trails Master Plan will be used to guide future trail design, construction, and maintenance decisions in Strathroy-Caradoc.

Over the past year, we have heard from the community & stakeholders about the future of trails in Strathroy-Caradoc. The Draft Recreational Trails Master Plan is now available for review and comment! There are many new trail routes, connections, and other amenities recommended in the Master Plan.

Submit your comments to officialplan@strathroy-caradoc.ca by July 13, 2022.

All comments and questions received will be considered as we finalize the Recreational Trails Master Plan, which will be presented to Council for endorsement on July 18, 2022.

Thank you to everyone who has participated in this project to-date.

Join us virtually starting on July 15, 2021 as we share preliminary recommendations and network mapping for the Transportation Master Plan and Recreational Trails Master Plan in a live virtual public open house at 6:00 p.m.

Pre-registration is mandatory. Click here to pre-register.

The Project Teams will present an update on these two projects, share preliminary recommendations and proposed network maps, followed by questions and answers with the public.

We understand that busy schedules mean that this date and time may not work for you. That is why following the live public open house, on July 19, a video recording will be posted to the Growing Together Strathroy-Caradoc project page with an open forum available to provide comments and receive answers from the project team.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Virtual Visioning Workshops! The work to complete the Recreational Trails Master Plan is now underway. We look forward to share these recommendations as soon as they are ready in late Spring / early Summer 2021.

Share your feedback! A Vision Survey is now live, and presents the visions for the various components of this project to confirm whether we heard the community correctly at the Visioning Workshops. This is an important step for the project team as we advance to future stages of the project. Click here to complete the survey.

Explore the Map! Place a pin on the interactive map of the Municipality to identify specific locations where there are opportunities to improve or where there are barriers that need to be addressed.

Did you miss one of the workshops? Not to worry! A recording of the workshop is available under the Videos section on the right side of your screen.
