NEWS RELEASE
GRAND RIVER CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
***************************
The weather system that swept through Southern Ontario on Saturday afternoon has resulted in significant damage to trees in several Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) natural areas and on GRCA trails throughout the Grand River watershed. As a result, these trails and natural areas have been closed while staff evaluate the damage.
The closure applies to all GRCA rail trails, including the Elora-Cataract Trailway, Cambridge-Brantford Rail Trail, SC Johnson Trail (Paris to Brantford) and Brantford-Hamilton Rail Trail.
Also included in this closure are all GRCA natural areas, including Dumfries (Cambridge), Snyder’s Flats (Bloomingdale), FWR Dickson/Bannister Lake (south of Cambridge) and Starkey Hill (Guelph).
All Grand River Conservation Areas remain open, except for Pinehurst Lake, which has been closed for access until further notice. Visitors are asked to exercise caution and avoid areas that have been closed.
