The funding of new bike trails is what a grant of $25,100 will help build in Dauphin.
At the Dauphin & District Community Foundation’s Spring Luncheon this past Monday, the 2020 Manitoba Summer Games committee was presented with the grant.
According to Co-Chair of the games committee Carla Wolfenden, this grant will help build an extensive amount of bike trail.
“We have a really impressive master plan built. We have a 5-6k games loop that will be hopefully ready by the fall. Future plans are to have 20 kilometers worth of trails almost up to the water treatment road.”
The 2020 Manitoba Summer Games committee hopes to build the trails as soon as possible to allow those in Dauphin and surrounding areas the opportunity to use the infrastructure before the games.
