The 2025 Annual Report for the Prescott‑Russell Recreational Trail, presented at the May 20, 2026 AGM, outlines recent investments and upcoming capital needs. Over 1 million dollars has been invested in trail improvements over the past four years, and the organization notes that the Trail is now a key economic and tourism driver with more than 120,000 visits in 2025. Looking ahead, the report highlights specific upcoming projects, including partnership in the Bourget Train Station redevelopment (grand opening in 2026), continued growth of the signage and "Adopt a Kilometre" programs, expansion of events and visitor services, and repair of the deck of the Plantagenet Bridge on the Trail.These identified projects signal future or ongoing needs for construction, civil/structural engineering, wayfinding and interpretive signage, tourism services, and event infrastructure that vendors can position for as the organization and its municipal partners seek funding and deliver works along the 72 km corridor.

Trail is connected to the Trans Canada Trail and has multi‑year partnerships with local institutions, suggesting ongoing funding streams and collaborative projects.

Pre-RFP

The committee planned to mark up Section F of the park's 5-year plan and note obsolete items. The agenda also mentioned coordination with SWMPC on the Park Plan. This is an open planning signal for park capital and programming priorities, not a procurement yet. A seller should watch for which projects survive the plan update and when they move into funded work.

Pre-RFP

At its August 20, 2026 meeting, the board heard a request to upgrade the existing pickleball court at Crystal Lake Park or add 1 or 2 new courts.

This is an open planning signal tied to park improvements and future funding.

This can matter to firms that support park planning, design, or implementation if follow-on work is still ahead.
