CHILLIWACK — Hedges on the Chilliwack River Valley Trail are due for some fresh cuts soon, as volunteers receive an annual grant from Trans Canada Trail.

The national organization’s Trail Care Grant Program has awarded $18,750 to various community groups in British Columbia. In Chilliwack, that money will be going towards removing debris, trimming brush and adding signage along the 65.5-kilometre trail.

“These grants empower local trail groups to continue their work in keeping the Trail safe, accessible, and welcoming for everyone, while building their volunteer networks to get even more people involved in this ongoing nationwide project,” said Stacey Dakin, Chief Program Officer at Trans Canada Trail.

“The hard work of volunteers across the country connects communities and contributes to a deeply meaningful shared national experience.”
