The Turtle River Trails and Alternative Recreation Plans, once complete, will offer residents of Ste. Rose du Lac and area many opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
Phase one of the trails is coming along nicely and there has been lots of support from the public so far. If you would like to support the project, there are a few ways you can do that. The easiest way to get involved is by purchasing a 50/50 ticket which the winner will be drawn for during Hoof n' Holler weekend in Ste. Rose in October.
Another low-cost way to support the Turtle River Trails and Alternative Recreation Plans is by picking up a t-shirt with their logo on it.
"We're also selling these really cool, swaggy, t-shirts with our logo on it for twenty-five dollars. We have different colours and different sizes as well", said Marie Sorlie, Vice Chair of the Trails Committee.
The logo on the t-shirt was designed by a local resident who won a logo design contest. The Turtle River Trails and Alternative Recreation Plans facebook page has all the contact details for the t-shirts.
There are also sponsorship levels which individuals and businesses can purchase to support the trails. $100 gets you a friend level sponsorship while it's $1000 for bronze, $2500 for silver, $5000 for gold, and $10,000 and up gets you a platinum level sponsorship. They also having naming rights for various aspects of the park such as the planned disc golf course or the kayak dock.
Sorlie added that things are moving along quickly, and that they are excited about all the other new phases that are coming.
