DEBERT, N.S. — The Mi'kmawey Debert Cultural Centre has received a $50,000 grant toward trail improvements on its 4.4-kilometre interpretive trail through ...
The nearly $1 million fund, split between dozens of trails across Nova Scotia, will help update, maintain and preserve the accessibility of the province’s rail, interpretive and forestry trails.
"We're excited to reopen the trail this fall after being closed for nearly a year," said Tim Bernard, executive director of the Mi’kmawey Debert Cultural Centre."The Mi'kmawey Debert Interpretative Trail is well known in the community as both a place to get some exercise and explore and a place to learn more about the Mi'kmaq.
“Many educators have used the trail and the interpretation resources of the centre to teach public school curriculum to Nova Scotia students. With support from the different levels of government, the trail will once again be available to the public."In October, the centre will celebrate 20 years since the interpretive trail was designed and built by Mi'kmawey Forestry with local Mi'kmaw foresters.
The provincial funding includes more than $580,000 in capital grants for 27 trails. More than $400,000 in operating funding will support groups managing 23 trails on the provincial rail bed. Originally a three-year pilot program, the operational grants are now a permanent part of the trail expansion fund.
"Local trails are hidden gems in communities throughout the province," said Pat Dunn, Minister of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage."They offer accessible opportunities for active and healthy living, connect us with nature and improve the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. We are proud to make this investment in our trails so more people can enjoy our beautiful province.
