Sentiers Chelsea Trails

For more than a hundred years, the culture of our village has been defined by the beauty of the landscape of the Gatineau hills and river. It is this treasured asset and the access to the natural worlds and recreation that continues to draw residents and visitors alike. SCT was founded by residents dedicated to finding ways to preserve what remains of Chelsea’s rich cultural and historical legacy of trails, and, where possible, to enhance and expand this existing trail system. Through these trails we promote active living, active transport and enjoyment of nature. Through our trail building efforts and our partnership with the municipality, and other community groups, SCT works to give the trail network a strong voice in our community. We strive to:

• • • Advocate for the preservation of longstanding, informal community trail routes
    • Improve active transport options for Chelsea residents and visitors
    • Seek out opportunities to build Chelsea’s trail networks through new trail development
    • Integrate trail considerations in the development and recreational planning processes at the Municipality
    • Help turn the Municipality’s inventory of raw lands designated for trails into active trails
    • Expand the network of trails in a sustainable and environmentally sensitive way.
