Trailsmen
Rod & Gun Club Provide Trout Pond Fishing Experience For Handicapped
As a result of donations
from local sponsors, the Trailsmen Rod & Gun Club, located several
minutes north of Val Therese, has been able to expand its clubhouse to
include an access ramp, deck and gazebo as well as the installation of
wheelchair accessible washroom facilities. The $8000 construction has been
done by members of the club.
Rolly Frappier, shown below cooking up a storm on the BBQ, is
President of the organization. “We have always wanted to make our
facilities more accessible to the disabled. We invite them out to enjoy
our trout pond and now their experience can be that much better.”
Members of the group
volunteer their time to teach disabled youngsters how to fish and give
them information on conservation. If you would like more information on
the club or would like to arrange to bring a disabled boy or girl for a
fishing experience, contact Rolly Frappier at
897-2478.
