Our first ever Sunday trail day went off on one of Calgary's hottest days of the year! With gorgeous weather and lots of trail needing love and attention, 25+ volunteers took part in one of our best trail days ever. A reroute around a major muddy section on Ridgeback is now complete thanks to their hard working and dedicated effort.  Expect to see the muddy section closed very soon.

Special thanks goes out to the Calgary Outdoor Club for supplying many of the day's volunteers, with a special thanks to COC's Michelle for doing all the BBQing and wrangling up a set of BBQ tongs at the last second.

Jose Quiroz was on hand to shoot a bunch of photos (below).

We hope to see people at our next volunteer trail event this coming Monday evening, July 25th, in Fish Creek.  Details will be posted soon!

Our early morning safety talk before heading out onto the trails.

Good News Everyone!  The Moose Mountain Environmental Enhancement Fund has awarded $40,000 to the CMBA for the purpose of working on the Tom Snow trail.  The CMBA is extremely grateful for this grant, and thanks Shell and Husky for their generosity. 

There are some conditions that the CMBA has agreed to in order to receive funding:

Albertans are invited to share their opinion on a new management plan being developed for Bragg Creek Provincial Park and close to 40 provincial recreation areas in Kananaskis Country. The provincial recreation areas include those along Highway 66 (Elbow Valley), Highway 68 (Sibbald Area) and Secondary Highway 541 (Longview Road). In addition to taking written feedback, two open house sessions will be held to gather input.
