Trails Development Support Program
Victoria County believes in the value trails bring to our residents through access to outdoor activities and locations as well as the many mental health benefits from spending time outdoors and in nature.
In an effort to support the great work done by many community and organization volunteers, the following Trails Development Support program has been established. Applications are welcome under one of the following three steams noted here.
- New Development – To provide one time financial support to fund or provide initial seed funding for a new project that enhances and supports the Municipal Trails Strategy.
Cannot exceed 15% of the total project cost. Maximum amount eligible to request is $10,000.
- Trail Maintenance / Repair – To provide one-time support for the required repair of section of an existing trail or to execute a portion of planned trail maintenance project.
