WHY SUPPORT THE PEDWAY PROJECT:

Safety: Presently, many choose to cross the highway between vehicle traffic, rather than follow the town’s suggested detour which is both unmarked and lacks bicycle lanes.

Tourism: A continuous section of the TransCanada Trail which facilitates biking, running and cross country skiing will provide a year-round boost to tourism, attracting visitors from around the world who are interested in Active Tourism
(combining adventure, nature and culture). Likewise, tourism activities will be linked with conservation education with integrated tours in the wetlands.

Improved Quality of Life: Such infrastructure promotes and facilitates the use of Sackville’s outdoor recreation areas by local residents, and in doing so promotes a healthy and active lifestyle. Improved quality of life is listed as a priority in the
Sustainable Sackville Plan.

National Connection: The Pedway will contribute to the completion of the TransCanada Trail: a free footpath connecting Canada from Coast to Coast.
