 We recently had two great opportunities to speak about our trails to Carleton University’s very own radio station, CKCU. The first interview being a holistic discussion of our trails with Ken Bouchard, Past President, and Laura Wesley, Communications Director for the non-profit, exhibiting how our paths help create personal experiences with each footstep. The second interview focused on the convergences of paths in a fundraising movie screening event held to support Sentiers Wakefield Trails. In both these discussions we had the pleasure of being interviewed by CKCU’s Susan Johnston whose questions helped us articulate the value of Sentiers Wakefield Trails. For anyone looking to learn more about our trails and to learn about what goes into our trailblazing work, these interviews are an informative and entertaining listen, with excellent music from Wakefield does Wakefield and other Canadian artists following the discussions for you to listen to as well.

Ken Bouchard, former President of the Board of Directors for Sentiers Wakefield Trails — a true trail blazer. To honour Ken's legacy in helping Sentiers Wakefield Trails, we presented him with a plaque during our annual general meeting on April 10th, 2025. His work on our trails was instrumental in the history of Sentiers Wakefield Trails, and continues to inspire us to build our trails to new heights. As Ken retires from our board, we would like to extend our largest thanks for his work over the years.
 Thank you to the Wakefield Community, our sponsors, and volunteers for making the movie night fundraiser a success! Special thank you to Diane Woollard & Centre Wakefield La Pêche!
 We are looking for volunteers (newbies welcome!) - for a hands-on learning opportunity about managing water to prevent erosion.

following is a note from Ken Bouchard, Past President and long-time friend of Bob’s.  The students presented their work at the Applied Research Day showcase. You may have noticed the new look and content on our website! This revamp was done in collaboration with students from the Interactive Media Design program at Algonquin College. Through the hard work of the four students — Nathan Templeton (Team Lead), Nhu Ly (Team Second), Jessica Radul, and Olaitan Edun, we updated our website, improving the flow of communication to trail users, local volunteers, funders, and other trail associations. SWT board members, Laura Wesley and Ken Bouchard worked alongside the students, providing photos, feedback, and ensuring the updates captured the spirit of our well-loved community trails.
