Rainbow Routes Association is excited to announce the completion of the Trans Canada Trail through Greater Sudbury, as well as the Official Opening of the Trans Canada Trail through Laurentian University. Please join Rainbow Routes Board and Staff on Wednesday, September 2, 2015, as well as our special guests: Deputy-Mayor Al Sizer; Dominic Giroux, President of Laurentian University; Kristi Arnold of Dalron Homes and Carl Jorgensen, General Manager of Conservation Sudbury in a ceremony celebrating these two events.
This final section of the Trans Canada Trail adds 1400 metres of new trail to the Trans Canada Trail network and was completed through the hard work of dedicated volunteers from A&M Remediation, Friends of Lake Laurentian, Dalron Homes, Villano Construction, Laurentian Nordic Ski Club, Rainbow Routes Association, plus many others not affiliated with a group or company who wanted to be part of this last piece of the Trans Canada Trail.
With this new trail, we now have a connection between Laurentian University and the Lake Laurentian Conservation Area, as well as a trail connecting the residents of the University Area to the Lake Laurentian Conservation Area. This final section also marks the end of 17 years of work in completing the Trans Canada Trail in Greater Sudbury. Rainbow Routes had set a goal of completing the Trans Canada Trail by 2015, two years ahead of the Trans Canada Trail Foundation’s goal of completing the trail across the county by 2017. We are proud to say that we have achieved that goal and the Trans Canada Trail now extends across our great city from east to west.
Funding for this section of the Trans Canada Trail was made possible by the Trans Canada Trail Foundation, and in kind donations from A&M Remediation, Dalron Homes and Villano Construction, plus the work of many amazing volunteers.

The Sudbury working-group of The Media Co-op was formed to create independent media in the North, to speak to our issues and outlooks on our communities as well as the world around us. Independent media provides an avenue for people who are wishing to gain critical perspective on the issues that matter most to us, and to give a voice to those people and stories that you won't find in the mainstream media.
