The ribbon cutting ceremonies for Minnedosa’s trail park were completed this past weekend. The occasion was met with plenty of cheers and applause from all in attendance.
By Casper Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press A labour of love from passionate volunteers reached a new peak recently. After years of dedication and hard work, Minnedosa’s Valley Life Recreation held the
official grand opening of the Squirrel Hills Trail Park on Saturday, July 12. All of the public was welcome to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony, which was held at the new trailhead. “It thrills us all so much to have so many of you
here– thank you. We’ve accomplished building the dream, team. And we are very excited to welcome a new chapter for Squirrel Hills,” said Dave Ternier, board chairperson for Valley Life Recreation. “We’d like to acknowledge the
many partners who have helped us get up to this point, and all of you who are here to celebrate with us.” Behind the dream First established in 1991 as the Squirrel Hills Recreation Area, this scenic
location began as a crosscountry ski and summer hiking trail area. Over the decades, teams of volunteers maintained and gradually expanded this outdoor community feature. The plans to further develop the Squirrel Hills
Recreation Area began in 2020, following the creation of Valley Life Recreation. This vision for a major expansion and development led to what is now known by residents and visitors as the Squirrel Hills Trail Park. Continued on Page 14
