Join us for a work party
We’re planning a trail work day on April 12, 2026. We’re planning to work on the North Whiteshell Trail/Trans Canada Trail.
We are heading to the Cabin Lake area to clear the essential connector to Jessica Lake and some sections of the Cabin Lake trail.
When: 9:00 am
Where: Jessica Lake Lodge parking lot
Plan: Expect 6 hours of brushing and clearing heavy spring deadfall. This is a critical link in our trail system, and our work ensures it stays accessible for the hiking season. We provide the tools and the expertise; you just need to bring the energy!
Pack your snacks and a full water bottle.
We typically cover 7-12 km over 5-6 hours on the trail.
Activities can include sawing, lopping, and otherwise clearing deadfall and downed trees, sprucing up signage, and as winter ends we may still opt to snowshoe pack trails in lieu of other work. MATR has a limited number of snowshoes we can lend to members who’d like to join us for a trail stomp if they don’t have their own.
Carpooling from Winnipeg will be arranged amongst those who RSVP by signing up. You must RSVP for this trail work event. Please complete this waiver if it’s your first time joining us for trail work in 2026 and email it to volunteer@matr.ca before joining us.
