Progress on the Rail to Trails pathway project is continuing.
The Midland Bridge section of the Drumheller Rails to Trails system is nearing completion and is expected to open in the next 4-6 weeks.
Currently, wooden decking has been installed to enhance active transportation, whether you prefer walking, running, or cycling.
Additionally, a 4-foot fence will be added on either side, along with a decorative border to create an attractive and safe space for everyone to enjoy.
Also, paving from the intersection of Highway 9 and South Railway Avenue to 2nd Street West has been completed, providing a new way to navigate to downtown Drumheller. Work to install a new pathway surface from 2nd Street west to the Midland Bridge is also underway, as crews remove the railway ballast.

The Drumheller and District Shooters Association is inviting women for a day of learning about firearms at its annual Ladies Range Day.
This is the sixth year for the event, and president Terry Koda says it is popular.
“We have had about 40 come out,” he explains, adding they get participants who are brand new, all the way up to more experienced shooters.
“We had some new people last year that were excited to come back this year.”
He says it is a good chance for women to get proper instruction on the use and handling of firearms.
“All of our people have taken courses and are range safety officers, so we know how to handle firearms, and we teach them how to properly shoot,” he said.
It is a one-day event on Saturday, August 10, and starts at 10 a.m. Participants have the opportunity for all kinds of activities, including the use of rifles, handguns, archery, and axe and knife throwing.
The day also includes a barbecue and is a fundraiser for the Drumheller and District Humane Society. The event is open to ladies 16 years and older. To register, go to www.d-dsa.ca/events
