A Sustainability Assessment of the Harte Trail

The Harte Trail is a 6.5-kilometre urban parcel of land located within the neighbourhood of Charleswood in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The Harte Trail is significant to the community’s leisure needs while supplying benefits of active transportation, environmental education, and biodiversity preservation. These benefits exist because the trail provides infrastructures and areas where people can conduct recreation, appreciate nature, strengthen community bonds, learn, and support sustainability initiatives. Several stakeholder groups manage this trail, primarily the City of Winnipeg, Friends of the Harte Trail, Manitoba Trails Association, and broadly, the general public. This sustainability assessment, based on key-informant interviews with members of stakeholder groups and a public engagement survey, led to recommendations about how regenerative sustainability could apply. The results indicated several areas where the trail can be improved. For example, reviewing infrastructure possibilities, forming partnerships, and preserving the existing strengths.
