We have plans to construct a 3-season shelter in honour of the Cor Van Raay donation near Research Centre Road. This facility will have public washrooms available. We are currently working with the City of Lethbridge and the Town of Coaldale to work more public facilities into the plan.

Phase 1 begins in Coaldale and ends just before crossing Highway 512. Construction of Phase 1 has started and is scheduled to be complete in the spring of 2024. As funds become available, we will be able to begin construction from Lethbridge to Howe Road in 2024 as well. We are hopeful that with continued support and donations, we will have enough money to complete the pathway construction by the end of the 2025 construction season (not including amenities such as benches or picnic shelters).

The pathway itself will be just under 15km long. It will tie into existing pathway networks in Lethbridge and Coaldale.
