Does not appear to be a staging area in Bonnyville, so I was just wondering if anyone knows of the nearest staging area to the town?
Being from Bonnyville, I have to say that I am more than embarrassed at the state of the Iron Horse trail and it's staging area. When CN was shutting down the rail line out local governments asked the Snowmobile club to lobby for securing the right away as a multi-use corridor. We did just that. When it can time to build the staging area the club was ready to go ahead and help with the construction. They then sold the allotted land out from under us. Many years of battle and we finally secured a piece of land but the Town and MD have reneged on their commitments. The staging area issue has been an on going battle and I have no Idea when and if it will ever get built. Such a shame.
I ask any one that reads this post, send the Town and the MD of Bonnyville a letter asking about the staging area. Maybe shaming them into it is the answer.
