We are really excited to see so many people out enjoying the McIntosh Run Singletrack Trails! Lets all be responsible trail users and good neighbours and do the following:
Pack In, Pack Out – including picking up after your canine friends;

Keep Your Clothes On at the trail head – the Captain William Spry Community Centre is not far from our trail network and has public washrooms, change rooms, and showers.

On Saturday June 9th members of the MRWA and JL Ilsley held the annual McIntosh Run River Cleanup. Beginning at the Captain William Spry Community Centre volunteers removed shopping carts, a bicycle, a bathtub, discarded construction material, dog poop bags, plastic straws, coffee cups, and other litter from the river and surround area.
According to the leadership teacher at JL Ilsley, there has been less garbage overall each year he’s been involved. The cleanup was followed by pizza back at the community centre. It was a super day and the high school students were great! A big thanks to everyone who came out.
