stanley community pathway soft opening

We are excited to share that the Pathway connecting Morden and Winkler is almost at completion!

While the official grand opening is being planned for Spring 2026, we want our residents to be able to enjoy it while the weather is cooperating this fall.

With key safety signage in place on the Pathway, we are confident that riders and pedestrians using this much anticipated Pathway will do so with caution, outside of regular construction hours.

Please be alert for vehicle traffic at mile road intersections. Slow down, STOP and look both ways before crossing.

Drivers, please keep an eye out for cyclists and pedestrians at intersections.

Thank you for your patience and support as we move this project to full completion!
