International Trails Day is Saturday, June 6th, 2009. Celebrate this special day by joining your friends at The Station on St. Paul Street between 10am and 1pm to take part in Collingwood's Trails Day celebrations. Sponsored by the Town of Collingwood and the Collingwood Trails Advisory Committee, the day will feature guided tours designed to appeal to every member of your family. Dress for the weather and explore Collingwood's ever-expanding trail system.

One of the highlights of International Trails Day will be the 12 kilometre Train Trail Extension bike ride to the Town of Stayner and back again. Other routes will include a wheelchair accessible tour of the Walk of History on the Collingwood Spit, easy paced strolls along town trails and trail walks designed for young families.

The International Trails Day will be in partnership with the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts and will include their annual Town and Country Studio Tour. This year marks their 21st annual tour and will include the Town of Collingwood and artists' studios to the south and west; Craigleith, Thornbury/Clarksburg, Nottawa, Duntroon and the Pretty River Valley. There will be 65 artists participating in approximately 25 studios, exhibiting fine art, pottery, textiles, glass, photography, jewelry, woodwork and more.

Elephant Thoughts will participate in the International Trails Day, with science stations set up for kids to participate in various experiments. These stations will be located in the kick-off area at The Station as well as at Sunset Point Park.
