SOUTH GLENGARRY, Ontario – The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA) is looking at installing trails for fat bikes within their watershed.
Union Gas has donated $1,500 to the RRCA to help them buy equipment to groom the trails for fat bikes.
Fat biking is a primarily winter activity. Fat bikes are wide-tired bikes designed for use on difficult terrains like snow trails.
“We are excited to attract more people to our local trail systems in the winter” said Richard Pilon, RRCA General Manager. “Fat biking is a great way to stay fit in the wintertime”. RRCA staff will be exploring this opportunity over the coming months and have recently held discussions with SDG County staff and members of the Friends of Summerstown Trails”.
Blair Hiseler, Union Gas Utility Services Field Supervisor for Cornwall, presented the cheque to the RRCA and said that Union Gas was proud to support the trail project.
“At Union Gas, we believe a community belongs to everyone who lives there,” said Blair. “We want to make life better for our families, our friends, and our neighbours. We’re proud to support the Raisin Region Conservation Authority, to improve access to local trails in the Raisin Region watershed.”
