The provincial Communities, Culture, Tourism, and Heritage Department has announced a grant of $600,000 is going to the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail Association for work to improve the environment along the Celtic Shores Coastal Trail in Inverness County.
The Celtic Shores Coastal Trail, which stretches 92 kilometres from Port Hastings to Inverness, is used by bikers, hikers, runners, horse-back riders, skiers and snowmobilers. The funding will go towards shoreline erosion repair and storm surge protection at Walkers Cove.
