We're looking for your feedback about the results of the 2022 Whitehorse North Trail Plan.

In 2022, the City completed a neighbourhood level trail plan for Whitehorse North, which encompasses the MacPherson, Hidden Valley, Forestview, and Mayo Road area. Due to concerns expressed by some residents in the area about the results, we've decided to conduct a public survey to review and help determine whether residents are generally satisfied with the plan or not.

Following this survey, a What We Heard report will be shared with the public.

    We understand there have been some concerns regarding the use of the label “Stevens Quarry” to describe the northwest area of the map. The Whitehorse North Trail Plan was adopted by City Council in October 2022, which preceded the adoption of the Whitehorse 2040 Official Community Plan in March 2023. The area is now referred to as Stevens.

    The intent of the 2022 planning process was to develop a neighbourhood level trail plan for the Whitehorse North trail network as one of the priority actions identified in the 2020 Whitehorse Trail Plan. The final deliverable was a neighbourhood Trail Plan map that identifies existing trails and their suggested designation as well as any proposed new trail development. Proposed changes to the Whitehorse North Trail Plan map require approval by City Council, and could not be altered for the purpose of this survey. Any future updates to the Whitehorse North Trail Plan would include current terminology and land use designations consistent with the Whitehorse 2040 Official Community Plan. Following this survey, a What We Heard report will be produced and shared with the public. This report will also be shared with City Council to determine the next steps.
