Another great outdoor activity during this time of social distancing is checking out the trails. The Spirit Trail has been an incredible collaboration between the City of North Vancouver, First Nations, North Shore municipalities and the provincial and federal governments. But did you know the story behind the logo?

"Shewalh Stelmexw (Sha-woth Stol-molth) – Squamish for ‘People’s Path’
The Spirit Trail logo represents the connections the trail creates between communities and their natural surroundings. The simple hand-drawn strokes of the logo merge human traits with the distinctive outlines of the North Shore landscape in a style that references the stone carvings of our Native ancestors."

So get out and enjoy the ‘People’s Path’
