Parks and Trails Plan & Active Transportation Network Plan - Area D

The Parks and Trails Plan is a long-term planning document that will guide future improvements and investments in parks, trails, and active transportation in Electoral Area D (Oyster Bay - Buttle Lake).

Active transportation—such as walking, biking, and rolling—is increasingly recognized across Canada as a key component of healthy, sustainable, and connected communities. Communities of all sizes are investing in active transportation to:

• Improve public health and well-being
• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
• Enhance accessibility and mobility for all ages and abilities
• Support economic development and tourism

By including an Active Transportation Network Plan, the Parks and Trails Plan will align these broader goals while improving connections between key destinations and enhancing accessibility and mobility for everyone.
