lets get the word out to our networks "We need to connect with all community groups and organizations that have supported the Confederation Trail and the value it brings to their communities."

We are building a list of projects and resources that have gone into the building of the trail.Ideas and suggestions are welcome immediately.

Community actions are needed that reflect Island Trails and the mission it serves to Prince Edward Island.

We are looking for ideas that reach all Islanders.
