Recreational Trails Master Plan
The Municipality is preparing a Recreational Trails Master Plan (RTMP) to identify future trail routes and improvements to existing trails, promote healthy and active communities, and develop a long-range Master Plan to guide the development and implementation of a recreational trails network in the Municipality.
The process to develop a RTMP starts with a vision, which will guide the review of the current off-road trail system and identify areas for improvement and growth. The RTMP also provides best practice trail design guidance. Ultimately, the RTMP will identify a series of actions, policies, and programs that the municipality can take to guide the implementation of off-road recreational trails.
The RTMP is being developed consistent with Approach #2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process.
