A volunteer effort helped restore the a damaged bridge in Myra Bellevue Provincial Park on the weekend.

Friends of the South Slopes members Herb Blamire, Brad Wright and Nick Fiorante went into the park and repaired a bridge over Priest Creek on one of the area鈥檚 hiking trails.

The bridge had washed out during the spring floods.

Before the work could be done, the volunteer association needed to find a way to get an excavator into the area to do the necessary repairs. When bike-friendly Winn Rentals donated the excavator and a chain-saw, the group received permission from an adjacent land-owner, Ed Krause to get the equipment into the area.

鈥淭his project would have been extremely difficult to undertake without Ed鈥檚 support,鈥� read a post on Winn Rentals鈥� Facebook page, which also said Krause donated $1,000 to the cause.

The workers installed gabions, moved and raised the bridge and repaired the approaches to the bridge.

鈥淲inn Rentals is a huge supporter of FOSS and other non-profit trail groups, we hope everyone enjoys the trail,鈥� the post reads.
