SUMMARY:Mainland Common Loop Official Ceremony and Walk
DESCRIPTION:Halifax North West Trails Association will host an official opening ceremony and walk at 2 PM on Sunday\, January 26\, 2025\, at 210 Thomas Raddall Drive in Halifax. This civic address marks the entrance to the new trail connector of the Mainland Common Loop trail system.The ceremony will officially open the newly completed\, formalized 300-metre section of trail that connects the BMO Soccer Centre parking lot to the existing Mainland Common Loop trail. Local elected representatives have been invited to mark the occasion.The project’s purpose was to formalize pre-existing paths and construct a wider trail to improved usage standards. The work was completed by Association volunteers using materials purchased through a Halifax grant approved for new trail construction. The work followed a pre-approved plan developed by the Association and funded by Halifax in past years. This plan remains active and represents a longer-term mission to expand the network of trails in the area.The new trail section\, already widely used by walkers\, joggers\, and bicyclists\, represents one year of volunteer work and approximately $4\,000 in materials. Volunteers used wheelbarrows and shovels to manually transport and spread over 75 tons of gravel and rock aggregates.Following the ribbon cutting\, Association Board of Directors members will lead a guided walk on the new trail section and connecting paths. Everyone receiving this message is invited to attend with friends and family.We look forward to seeing you at this New Year event.
