Paving the old Highway trail past Kapasiwin

The existing Old Highway Trail pavement is deteriorating rapidly, filled with cracks, and overgrown. The trail is popular with locals and visitors alike, and has become difficult to use.

Paving the Old Highway Trail will provide better accessibility, improve safety and the visitor experience, encourage trail use, extend the trail's useful life, lower long-term maintenance requirements, and improve community appearance by having a well-maintained trail surface.

We plan to leverage some paving equipment that will be in Waskesiu for another job this September, which is why this opportunity came up so quickly. 

Utilizing the same equipment will result in significant savings, but we have to move fast in order to make this happen, and we need your help to do it.

The total project cost is $152,292 for paving the Old Highway Trail. Nearly 70% of funds are on hand from the Jim Cuddy Trio concert and other donations.

Your help is needed to raise $45,000 by September 30, 2026 to ensure we can jump on this opportunity and leverage the paving equipment that will already be in Waskesiu. 

Paving is targeted to begin this September.
