Northstar Rails-to-Trails AGM May 12
By Chris Newel
The Northstar Rails-to-Trails board will be holding their annual general meeting, Tuesday May 12, 7 p.m. at the Heritage Inn, Cranbrook.
A volunteer board of directors from the Kimberley / Cranbrook / Wycliffe area manages the NorthStar Rails-to-Trails. The board’s mandate covers three areas of trail management: seasonal maintenance, grant/operational fund sourcing and trail promotion.
The board works closely with cities of Cranbrook and Kimberley and the Regional District of East Kootenay to tackle large-scale and long-term trail repairs.
The trail which once was a railway is now a beautiful paved trail that is used by cyclists, runners, walkers and roller blade enthusiasts throughout the spring, summer and fall. In it can be used in the winter by skiers or on snowshoes.
The Northstar Rails-to-Trails invites you to the Annual General Meeting and become part of the wonderful landmark we share.
