In the early 1990's the City commissioned a study on the most used and valued recreational assets in PG, it was called the PERC report. The report noted that the City's trail system was the most used recreational asset in PG. At that time the City had a Rivers and Trail committee staffed by volunteers and one member of the Cities Park department. The budget for trail maintenance then was $26,000 a year which included emptying garbage cans and grass cutting. Essentially, the most valued recreational asset in PG used by the most people had no real budget to fund it. You can imagine what the City was spending on pools and skating rinks. Around that time, the Nechako Rotary club built the Cottonwood Island trail at a cost of $145,000 and "sweat equity" provided by club members. Those that forget their history are doomed to repeat it!
