Abstract:

Community organizations have partnered with NORDIK Institute and the City of Sault Ste. Marie Planning Department in providing information regarding the rich historical, cultural and environmental ecosystems adjacent to the Hub Trail. The information, including healthy active living, will be widely accessible through a web portal, mobile devices, and a trilingual Trail Guide and Audio Tour.

The City of Sault Ste. Marie’s recently completed John Rowswell Hub Trail is an accessible non-motorized trail within the city limits, encouraging active and healthy living. It has quickly become a noteworthy asset, contributing to the community’s identity. The Trail is a 22.5-kilometer route around the ecologically diverse, culturally significant and historically rich settlement areas; however, these socio-ecological assets have not yet been developed or available in widely accessible formats or in one location.

The project is gathering information about the ecosystems, the history, and the culture of the lands and neighbourhoods bordering the Hub Trail, as well as healthy active living information, and recording it in English, French and Anishinaabemowin, the traditional language of this region. The information will be widely available through a web portal, mobile devices, a Trail Guide and an Audio Tour.

The interactive Hub Trail website can be found here: http://www.hubtrail.com/

The following partners are currently working collaboratively with NORDIK Institute and the City of Sault Ste. Marie Planning Department in sharing their knowledge. NORDIK invites other community members and organizations to share their knowledge in providing a comprehensive guide to both the natural and human ecosystems bordering the Trail for citizens and tourists alike.
