A Once In A Lifetime Project
A once in a lifetime project, the Credit Valley Trail will be a 100 km pathway through the Credit River Valley – from the hills of the headwaters in Orangeville to Lake Ontario at Port Credit, Mississauga. The trail will connect communities to the beauty of nature, Indigenous heritage and values, rich cultural experiences and sustaining the waters of the Credit River.
Rotary Meadowvale members and guests had the pleasure of viewing a presentation by the Executive Director of the Credit Valley Conservation Foundation, Dayana Gomez to hear about the initiative to connect the remaining 68 kms to the existing 32 kms of trail that are already connected. They are currently working to secure five key environmental properties that will provide an optimal route for the Credit Valley Trail in Mississauga and Brampton. The closing costs for each of these properties can range from $30k to $50K.
The good news is that we can all help this project reach the finish line! To support and learn more about this amazing environmental project in our own backyard:
