Trail Work Day

Join us for a work party

We’re planning a trail work party on December 15, 2024. Your presence is crucial to the success of our trail work event. Throughout the day, we'll tackle various tasks, including clearing dead-fall, brush-cutting, sprucing up the trail signage, and more. You'll use hand tools like loppers and portable saws to make this happen.

  • Date: Sunday, December 15th

  • Location: Powerline access to Telford Tower

  • Distance: Approximately 9.4km

  • Duration: 6 hours

  • Activity: Hiking or snowshoeing (depending on weather conditions)

What to pack:

  • Warm winter clothing: layers, winter coat, hat, gloves, and boots

  • Winter footwear: hiking boots or snowshoes (depending on preference)

  • Water and snacks to keep you fueled

  • A positive attitude and a willingness to lend a hand!

Important notes:  

  • Complete the online waiver: All participants must submit the waiver before joining. If you haven't already, email it to info@matr.ca.

  • Winter weather: Be prepared for cold temperatures, snow, and ice.

  • No personal swinging or power tools: We'll provide all necessary tools for the job.

For those interested in carpooling, we'll meet at 7 a.m in Winnipeg. 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 2024 and email it to info@matr.ca before joining us.

We welcome four-legged friends on the trail under the following conditions: Any dogs must be leashed if accompanying us, both for safety reasons (tools are dangerous) and to comply with leash laws requiring all pets to be on leash in provincial parks.

NOTE: We’re all-weather people and run under all conditions, however, this event may be re-scheduled if the road conditions make it unsafe to travel on the day.

DYK: MATR members earn UTofMB points for participating in trail work? This will count toward 2025 points.
