The Southeast Regional Service Commission (SERSC), together with the Village of Fundy Albert, invites local Dreamers, Champions, and community groups to help shape the future of a major regional trail initiative—and to explore how Fundy Albert can become a cornerstone of a Southeast New Brunswick Trail Towns network.
Fundy Albert already has a proud and diverse recreational community, built over many years by residents, volunteers, and local organizations. Our trails, viewpoints, and outdoor spaces exist because community members created them, cared for them, and shared them. Any future growth can only succeed if it continues in that same spirit—driven by local voices, local priorities, and local knowledge.
While SERSC is working to connect communities from Alma to Cap-Acadie through a 170-km cycling and hiking network, the direction and success of the trail in our region must be shaped by the people who live here. Community involvement is not just welcome—it is essential. Only through local collaboration, shared ideas, and open input can we ensure that the trail developed in Fundy Albert is truly by the people, for the people, reflecting our values, our culture, and the way our residents want to experience the outdoors.
Trail Towns are communities that not only lie along long-distance trails but embrace them as part of their identity. They welcome trail users with practical amenities—food, lodging, rest areas, bike facilities—as well as community spirit. Trail Towns thrive when residents, businesses, and local groups work together, and when trails are seen as shared assets that support local businesses, attract visitors, and create new forms of prosperity for everyone in the region. By working collaboratively—SERSC, the Village of Fundy Albert, and our community partners—we can bring existing efforts together, strengthen the trails we already enjoy, and ensure that any new development reflects the values and identity of our region. When the community leads the way, the result is a connected and celebrated trail network that benefits residents first, supports local businesses, and helps our area continue to grow in a way that feels right for Fundy Albert.
Stakeholders are welcome to attend any of the following sessions:
