A 13 kilometer segment of Victoria Trail is proposed to be legally designated as a Municipal Historic Area under the Alberta Historical Resources Act. The proposed designation would recognize the significance of Victoria Trail in Alberta and Western Canada's early transportation and settlement history, while fostering a sense of shared heritage and pride within our community.

This commemorative designation is symbolic and non-regulatory - it does not impose restrictions on private property or existing land uses.

If designated, Victoria Trail would benefit from:

• Increased cultural and historical recognition to preserve and promote local history
• Opportunities for interpretive signage or educational programming to enhance public understanding and appreciation
• Potential partnerships for conservation and commemorative efforts
• Managed planning and development practices that respect the historic character of the area
