Subject Special Initiatives File: Sho 065 001 To: Lee-Ann Crane, CAO From: Andrew McLeod, Special Initiatives Date: September 16, 2014 Subject: Project Information Form – Fernie Trails Alliance pc: Background and Discussion The Fernie Trails Alliance is asking for $200,000 to fund the development of the “Community Trail” in the City of Fernie. The project is not directly linked with either of the trail related priorities identified in the Elk Valley Community Priorities Plan as the proposed trail is entirely contained with the City of Fernie and does not connect with other Elk Valley communities. Other funding sources are available for this project. Options Option 1: THAT a letter be sent to Fernie Trails Alliance stating that the Elk Valley Community Directed Funds Committee does not support funding the Community Trail in the City of Fernie at this time. Option 2: THAT the Fernie Trails Alliance be granted $ for the Community Trail in the City of Fernie. Subject Special Initiatives File: Sho 065 001 To: Lee-Ann Crane, CAO From: Andrew McLeod, Special Initiatives Date: September 16, 2014 Subject: Project Information Form – EV Regional Economic Development Task Force pc: Background and Discussion The Elk Valley Regional Economic Development Task Force is requesting $50,000 per year for three years to fund the development of a valley-wide economic development marketing strategy. The project meets Priority #9 of the Elk Valley Community Priorities Plan: develop an Elk Valley branding and economic development marketing strategy. The project does not appear to be in any direct conflict with the mission, vision and values of the Committee or with the plan’s Project Selection Criteria. Because this project is not eligible for other direct CBT financial support, the Community Directed Funds is an appropriate funding source. Options Option 1: THAT a letter be sent to Elk Valley Regional Economic Development Task Force stating that the Elk Valley Community Directed Funds Committee does not support funding the valley-wide economic development marketing strategy request at this time. Option 2: THAT the Elk Valley Regional Economic Development Task Force be granted $ for the valley-wide economic development marketing strategy. Subject Special Initiatives File: Sho 065 001 To: Lee-Ann Crane, CAO From: Andrew McLeod, Special Initiatives Date: September 16, 2014 Subject: Project Information Form – Sparwood Ridge Trail pc: Background and Discussion Dan Charest is requesting $277,027.80 to fund a non-motorized, backcountry trail project connecting Sparwood with the Hosmer area. The project meets Priority #2 of the Elk Valley Community Priorities Plan: create a multi- use backcountry trail connecting communities. The project does not appear to be in any direct conflict with the mission, vision and values of the Committee or with the plan’s Project Selection Criteria. However, it is unclear if this project has a local community organization willing to sponsor and maintain it, or if the trail would be approved by the province. The immediate benefits of the project will be somewhat restricted to the communities of Sparwood and Hosmer. Options Option 1: THAT a letter be sent to Dan Charest stating that the Elk Valley Community Directed Funds Committee does not support funding the Sparwood Ridge Trail project request at this time. Option 2: THAT Dan Charest be granted $ for the Sparwood Ridge Trail. .

  • High Rockies Trail in Kananaskis Country
    The Fabulous High Rockies Trail in Kananaskis Country Finished in time to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, the 80 kilometre High Rockies Trail is the most westerly piece of the Trans Canada Trail in Alberta. It travels continuously from the Goat Creek Trailhead at the border of Banff National Park through three provincial parks in Kananaskis Country – including the Bow Valley Wildland, Spray Valley and Peter Lougheed to finish at Elk Pass on the Alberta - British Columbia border. The trail will be most appreciated by the mountain biking community though it’s certainly hiker friendly too. The trail is easy to access from numerous parking lots and picnic areas along the Smith Dorrien Trail (Highway 742) but unless you’re super human, you’ll want to explore the trail in manageable sections. There are no shuttle systems in place so you’ll have to arrange your own or plan on an out and back bike ride. The trail is well-signed and well-built, even though there is a major washout near the start at Goat Creek. Enjoy a mix of old and new trails including road and single-track; short connectors have been added so it’s easy to access existing day use areas along the Smith Dorrien Trail. You can expect to come across a diverse landscape. Much of it is in the forest, yet there are plenty of open areas and views. Lakeside riding is very pleasant and mostly flat – while those sections with particularly great mountain views, like the Sparrowhawk Day Use Area to Buller Creek section will test your aerobic conditioning.
