Grand Opening of the Dingly Dell Trail

Grand Opening of the Dingly Dell Trail Sunday, February 17th, 1:00 p.m.

Our trail network is growing!  

The Dingly Dell Trail runs from Pilkey Point Road at Jollity Farm to join up with the Lawrence Valley Trail.

This more challenging trail runs through Jollity Farms, Meadow Valley and Dickie property - special thanks to the property owners for providing us with excellent exercise through such beautiful scenery. Designated parking is available at Jollity Farm for those who drive to the trail while those who walk there can access the trail from Pilkey Point Road.

Due to safety concerns there will be no parking on Pilkey Point Road.  

For more information, contact Pat English puzzlnut@telus.net or Vicki Walker 250-246-9126.

Log Donations for the Forbes Hall Project

Over 25 logs have been offered for use in the Forbes Hall Expansion & Upgrade Project. We look forward to having Thetis Island Fir as part of the new building. 

Tom Milliken & Bill Dickie have done an assessment of all logs offered, for both usability and ease of access.

We are thrilled with the availability of this amount of timber, and thankful for the generosity of the community. Once removal of the logs is determined, we will be in touch with all donors.

Once again, thank-you!
