Sackville, Town of

Published purpose

In 2018, to Town of Sackville completed a major flood mitigation project that resulted in some access roads and multi-use trails that residents and visitors can use for both active transportation and recreation. The addition of this asset has been great for the Town, however, the new trail system is not properly connected to our downtown or our famous Sackville Waterfowl Park, as it ends abruptly. Additionally, there is a new retention pond development funded by Ducks Unlimited that has great potential for additional trails and would better connect to our sidewalks, crosswalks and the Waterfowl Park. This development would result in a trail system that will allow users to walk or bike safely from Downtown Sackville to our economic corridors near the Trans Canada Highway. It would also connect to the Trans Canada Trail system, which includes a 58km stretch of former railbed trail that reaches all the way to the Confederation Bridge to Prince Edward Island.
