County of Renfrew recognizes Ontario Trillium Foundation funding for upgrades on K&P Recreational Trail

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MPP John Yakabuski recently visited the K&P Recreational Trail to see improvements made thanks to a $62,800 Community Building Fund – Capital stream grant received from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. The County of Renfrew was pleased to recognize the grant, which helped address community needs by renovating and repairing the County's recreational trail to increase safety, improve accessibility and create a better year-round experience for residents and tourists.

Through the OTF grant, a 3.5-kilometre section of the K&P Recreational Trail, from Pucker Street to Ashdad Road in the Township of Greater Madawaska, was rehabilitated. The work included brushing, ditching and completing a surface treatment. The upgrades improved the multi-use four-season recreation, travel, commuting and fitness corridor. The County of Renfrew issued a request for tender for the project and Goldie Mohr Ltd. of Ottawa was the successful bidder. The work was completed in 2022.
