Water, Pathway, and Public Transit Connections for a Healthier Abegweit First Nation, Prince Edward Island
EF 2024-25 · 2025-03-21
Résumé
This project will offer active travellers the ability to explore and be active in the community by connecting the Confederation Trails to multi-use pathways in the community; a floating dock/boardwalk system that offers access to the Hillsborough River; and an Active Transportation Visitor Centre that will provide storage for and access to active transportation equipment. Abegweit has already purchased kayaks, canoes, snowshoes, skis, bicycles and e-bikes, but does not have a facility to properly store this equipment and more importantly, connect the public to this equipment to encourage active transportation.
The Active Transportation Centre will serve as a storage facility for the equipment listed above. The Centre is located in close proximity to the Confederation Trail System and Hillsborough River. Multi-use pathways will tie all active transportation assets together, connecting the Confederation Trails, floating dock/boardwalk system and the Active Transportation Centre. In addition to serving as a storage facility, the Active Transportation Centre will serve as a respite location, with access to publicly accessible washrooms/changerooms for individuals and groups using the trails or any of the equipment listed above.
The facility will enhance the community’s connection to active transportation opportunities; while providing a space to educate users on the safe usage of the equipment. The project will also foster connections with surrounding communities via water pathways by use of kayaks and canoes.

Description (French)
Ce projet offrira aux voyageurs actifs la possibilité d’explorer et d’être actifs dans la communauté en reliant le Sentier de la Confédération à des sentiers polyvalents dans la communauté; un système de quai flottant et de promenade qui donne accès à la rivière Hillsborough; et un centre d’accueil de transport actif qui fournira l’entreposage et l’accès à du matériel de transport actif. Abegweit a déjà acheté des kayaks, des canoës, des raquettes à neige, des skis, des bicyclettes et des vélos électriques, mais n’a pas d’installation pour entreposer correctement cet équipement et, plus important encore, pour permettre au public d'accéder à cet équipement afin de favoriser le transport actif.
Le centre de transport actif servira d’installation d’entreposage pour l’équipement énuméré ci-dessus. Le centre est situé à proximité du réseau du Sentier de la Confédération et de la rivière Hillsborough. Les sentiers polyvalents relieront tous les moyens de transport actif, reliant le Sentier de la Confédération, le système de quai flottant et de promenade ainsi que le centre de transport actif. En plus de servir d’installation d’entreposage, le centre de transport actif servira d’emplacement de repos, avec accès aux toilettes/vestiaires accessibles au public pour les personnes et les groupes qui utilisent les sentiers ou l’équipement énumérés ci-dessus.
L’installation améliorera le lien entre la communauté et les possibilités de transport actif, tout en offrant un espace pour informer les utilisateurs sur l’utilisation sécuritaire de l'équipement. Le projet favorisera également les liens avec les communautés environnantes par l’intermédiaire de voies d’eau, grâce à l’utilisation de kayaks et de canoës.
