“Tourists and residents alike head to the Shuswap Trails website to find access information and to download trail maps,” said Executive Director Jen Bellhouse. “Trail users will find the new trails database easier to use and it comes with a great new search option.”

The STA is thanking the City of Salmon for funding the project, which made the dream of a new website a reality. The funds from the city were leveraged with money from the Shuswap Community Foundation and MRDT, allowing for the two websites to be overhauled and merged into one.

Bellhouse said the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) GIS department staff were instrumental in the creation of the trails database, and the STA’s website refreshes data from the CSRD’s database daily, making for an up-to-date website.

The Shuswap Trails website is a part of the wider Shuswap Tourism toolbox and the online point source for trails in the region, which is all part of the Shuswap Tourism Strategy.

Bellhouse said the City of Salmon Arm funded this website to support the Shuswap Tourism partners who rely on this website.

“Our new website really goes to show you what can happen when folks work together, and we are so incredibly grateful for the funding that we received for this project,” said Bellhouse.

“We’re so excited to have this great new resource that we can offer the region. We could not have done this without the inkind support from the CSRD staff, so a huge thank you to David, Suzanne, the CSRD for lending us their expertise, Shuswap Tourism for reviewing the site, and the web development team at Csek Creative.”

The STA’s new website launched just in time for their annual membership drive, with a new and improved online form. Membership fees, in the amount of $20, assist with planning and building trails in the community.
