Dawson Creek Walking Trail and Indoor Track
Northern
British Columbia’s LocalMotion program is helping make communities all over the province greener, healthier and more active.
In Dawson Creek, the community received almost $950,000 from the program for walking trail expansion and an indoor track at the Encana Event Centre. Those who run, walk, cycle and rollerblade will all benefit from the improvements.
Nearly complete, the new 1.4 kilometre stretch of trail is designed to link existing trails to create a trail that spans the city and also connects with the indoor running track, which is the community’s first - providing physical activity opportunities for everyone from high school track competitors to seniors’ walking groups.
LocalMotion is providing $40 million over four years for bike paths, walkways and greenways and other improvements that create seniors-friendly and disability-friendly communities. In Dawson Creek, it’s creating healthy recreation opportunities indoors and out.
