Viewing Platforms and decks

Pedestrian and CycliCommuter Trails & Active Transportation
This is a question we get all the time. For so many First Nation communities, often the only place to recreate, exercise and play, is a busy road that runs through the community. We have worked with numerous communities to design and build multi-purpose trails that connect community members to their schools, health centres, administrative offices and much more, providing safe places to hike, walk, dog-walk and cycle.
Check out our most recent commuter trail built by pro builder James Doerfling with the Canim Lake First Nation
Indigenous Art & Trails
One of our favourite things in the whole world is learning how the trails we’ve built with First Nations are being used in ways we never expected. Many communities have begun to incorporate art in to their trails as a means of storytelling and to highlight the spiritual connections between people and the land.
Check out the art trails of the Syéxw Chó:leqw (Rockslide in the Forest) Adventure Park, an art and trails park we built in partnership with First Journey Trails and the Sq’ewá:lxw First Nation
