Transcona Trails
The past year has been busy for Transcona Trails. We received more invitations to be
active in community events. The community became more aware of our organization and we
received more unsolicited donations from local businesses.
Transcona Trails continues to advocate for improving the current trails in Transcona,
completing the Transcona Trail, and building links between trails so they are easy to use for
recreation and commuting.
