Concourse Trail Custodian Update
Our Concourse Trail Custodian program was officially launched on July of 2017 through our website and social media. The goal of the program is to match volunteers with routes throughout the Northeast Avalon region to help keep our trails clean and safe. Registered volunteers aid in maintenance efforts by placing litter in garbage bins and reporting issues like tripping hazards or vandalism during their regular trail use. Our trail network has spread to nearly 200 kms throughout 8 municipalities, which is a large area for our crews to cover so even small collective efforts can go a long way for keeping trails clean. Studies also show that visible efforts to clean or pick up litter resonate with people and discourage others from littering. In this way, we've encouraged citizens to become community leaders and set an example for others.
Register as a custodian today and help keep our trails clean and safe for all users!
We are deeply grateful for all of your support!
Upper Three Corner Pond Park Trail
Located off Bauline Line, Upper Three Corner Pond Park offers a number of large outdoor recreation spaces for residents of Torbay. In 2016, the Grand Concourse Authority completed a 800-metre looped trail encircling the pond and serene wetland. This project is one of several new additions in the Town of Torbay, including the off-leash dog park, Western Island Pond Trail, and Barkwood/Woodbridge Lane Park.
Portugal Cove War Memorial
The War Memorial on Hardings Hill Road in Portugal Cove was refurbished over 2014-15 on behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion NL Branch 10 and the Town of Portugal Cove - St. Philip's. The site was expanded for memorial services and new engraved monuments and pavers were designed and installed. Engravings acknowledge the units and ships of community members and the campaigns they took part in.
