understanding of local ecology through the lens of outdoor recreation. Initiatives such as public art projects, which can be facilitated in collaboration with local schools, historical societies, and artists, can significantly heighten community engagement with trails, as evidenced by projects like the Keddy Access Trail Public Art Project described below. The Town of Tillsonburg is positioned to delve into the development of trail programs through strategic partnerships with local entities such as the Tillsonburg Seniors Centre, the Station Arts Centre, the Tillsonburg Horticultural Society, and Glendale High School, thereby enriching the community’s recreational landscape and fostering a deeper connection with the natural environment. Recommendation
PE 9. Explore opportunities to expand trail-based recreation programs and activities (e.g. local heritage plaques, arts and culture, early childhood education, community stewardship and leadership, and local ecology focused programs) in collaboration with local
organizations (e.g. Tillsonburg Historical Society, Long Point Region Conservation Authority.)
