SATA Trails Association

Welcome to the SATA Trails Society! Since 2015, we’ve been a volunteer-driven non-profit dedicated to maintaining 6.8 km of a non-motorized greenway for locals and visitors alike to walk, run or cycle. Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers and generous support from the municipality, the provincial government and Trans Canada Trails, the Gaetz Brook Greenway remains a beautiful, accessible and safe space for recreation and active transportation.

  • Our Vision: Active Transportation connecting our communities.
