MUNICIPALITY OF THE DISTRICT OF LUNENBURG, NOVA SCOTIA – The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg celebrated the Osprey Connector Trail opening on Sunday, November 18, 2023.
The Osprey Connector Trail is a vital link that now connects the South Shore Annapolis Valley Trail, Arthur Young Trail, and the LaHave River Trail to the trail network that encompasses Central Nova Trail, Adventure Trail, Dynamite Trail and the Bay to Bay trail.
“This trail marks a significant milestone in our Municipality’s ongoing commitment to providing outstanding outdoor recreational opportunities. This trail not only enhances our local trail network but also strengthens our ties with the broader community,” says Mayor Carolyn Bolivar-Getson. “It's a physical embodiment of collaboration, bringing together various trail groups, local businesses like the Best Western, and the Municipality. The commitment, cooperation, and shared vision of these stakeholders have been essential in making this project a reality.”
“The completion of the Osprey Connector Trail is not just about connecting trails; it's about connecting people. It's about fostering a sense of belonging, promoting a healthier lifestyle, and providing a space for people to explore the beauty of our region. It's also about the economic benefits that come with the growth of outdoor sports and the impact that large groups of trail enthusiasts have on our community. These visitors come to stay, ride the trails, and contribute to the local economy, further solidifying our reputation as a premiere destination for outdoor activities,” says Mayor Carolyn Bolivar-Getson.
The Nova Scotia Government, via the Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism, and Heritage, provided a grant of $80,000 towards the expansion of our recreation trail project. The Municipality extends its gratitude to the dedicated efforts of the Lunenburg Region Trail Associations, recognizing their ongoing commitment to trail development. Their hard work is instrumental in creating a future network of trails that will seamlessly connect Halifax to the Valley through Lunenburg County.
