There were over 2 million visits to the Meewasin Trail in 2023 and we are on pace to see another huge increase! The Meewasin trail network has been a huge support to physical and mental health for runners in the region and a major draw for active visitors. There are over 110km of trail to enjoy with priceless conserved spaces around them to enjoy and learn about the natural environment.
Meewasin relies on donations to complete upgrades to the trails and the more donations, the more improvements. We currently have a major project underway in Kiwanis Memorial Park that needs more support, to read more about them visit Meewasin.
