Terrace city council backs bid to rename Grand Trunk Pathway - Terrace Standard

The City of Terrace wants to rename the Grand Trunk Pathway, the multi-use trail connecting the downtown west to the Kalum River Bridge.

It’s also fitting, Bujtas continued, because Charles Nelson was injured and became lame when he and his dogsled were lifted up and thrown aside by a railway snowplow during a snowstorm.Charles Nelson died in 1930 at the age of 62 and Emma Nelson died in 1959 at the age of 105. It will now be forwarded to Kitsumkalum for its consideration or for a mutually agreed upon different name.

Council also approved of a second suggestion from the mayor and that is to arrange with Kitsumkalum a two-community celebration when the trail is finally completed. But one portion within the final section running along the boundary of the Kalum Motel property where it touches the highway remains unbuilt because the city and the property owner could not reach a purchase agreement.
