BCT NEWS RELEASE – Bragg Creek Trails receives government funding
Bragg Creek Trails is pleased to announce we have signed a $250,000 grant agreement with Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP). This funding, supported by the Kananaskis Conservation Pass revenues, ensures WBC trail operations will continue well into 2022 at the level our trail users have grown to expect. BCT will continue to work with AEP in the coming months to ensure additional funding is put in place for the remainder of the time of the grant. BCT’s ultimate goal is to build a sustainable funding model that ensures the high level of trail care remains consistent on the West Bragg Creek trail network.
There are limitations to the AEP grant funding, so BCT is still encouraging donations for areas not covered by the grant. In particular, these donations will be for special projects and new equipment needed to improve our efficiency in moving work crews and tools to remote work sites in our vast trail network. BCT is constantly evaluating the work we do to improve the user experience and how we achieve these goals in a sustainable manner. Responsible use of all funds directed towards BCT’s mission is key to the trust we have established with our government partners and the supporters who share our vision.
As always, we appreciate your support as we work through this dynamic phase of rethinking how we fund trails in the province. Please contact us at info@ braggcreektrails for further information or comments.
