Bowen Island Horse Owner and Riders Association celebrated the opening of a new multi purpose trail beside Bowen Bay road, “the Westside connector trail” on Sunday June 22 at 1:30p.m. at the trail. Seven horses and their riders as well as several walkers and their dogs shared some cookies and conversation in the trail clearing in lovely sunny weather. The trail was built with help from generous donations from Horse Council BC, John Reid and Twin Island Excavating. Thanks also goes to Kat Beaulieu our out-going BIHORA President who conceived the idea to build the trail and enabled the grant from Horse Council BC. We are sadly saying goodbye to Kat and Rodney Beaulieu as they move to California for a job opportunity. We will miss them and wish them well.
We hope that hikers, dog walkers and riders enjoy this connector route from Bowen Bay road to access both the Evergreen trails and the trails up mount Gardner. It is easy to park on Westside road and access the trails.
