We are partnering with the County of Essex and the Essex Region Conservation Authority for Phase 1 of our project, which focuses on the Greenway trails. WE Check the Trails is a way to engage the community to help this happen. We want our outdoor spaces to be inclusive and accessible to all. The Essex County Accessibility Advisory Committee decided this is a perfect time to launch a project that will help us find out who is using our trails and what we can do to make them more accessible. Our trails and pathways have been important to everyone’s health and well-being, including those with accessibility challenges. These are among the few recreational activities we can safely do during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many local residents have been walking or riding outdoors close to home for hours in the past year. How much time have you spent going for outings on trails and pathways in Windsor and Essex County in the last year? Phase one of the We Check the Trails focuses on the Greenway Trails managed by the Essex Region Conservation Authority with future phases and trails to be added as progress unfolds.īelow is a column about the project written by Christine Easterbrook, Chair of the Essex County Accessibility Advisory Committee: This information will be reviewed by the project team and reported back to those who are responsible for the trails. The Essex County Accessibility Advisory Committee (ECAAC) and the County of Essex are working with the Essex Region Conservation Authority to offer a data collection tool, for members of the community to use to report on features, conditions and issues that may impact the overall accessibility of the local public access trails. WE Check the Trails is a community engagement exercise, born out of the concept of inclusivity and access for all.
