(postponed) Blue Route Opening Event

Social Event

August 17th, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Cycling Nova Scotia and the Coal Town Trail Association, in partnership with the Nova Scotia Department of Public Works, and the Cape Breton Regional Municipality, is proud to share that a  34-kilometre section of the Blue Route Provincial Cycling Network between Glace Bay, Dominion, and Sydney will be opening in August 2025. (Event postponed due to the provincial ban on activities in wooded areas and trails.)

The Blue Route Cycling Network is a project of Cycling Nova Scotia and the NS Department of Public Works and aims to create a 3,000km province-wide network of continuous cycling infrastructure. With over 500km already designated, and using a comprehensive wayfinding system, we are well on our way to connecting Nova Scotians across the province to world-class cycling destinations.  The Blue Route aims not only to provide scenic cycling routes, but also to offer local alternate forms of transportation and contribute to provincial environmental goals.

This new section of the Blue Route will incorporate existing infrastructure, including the beautiful Coal Town Trail, Maryann Corbett Trail, along with on-road sections along Seaside Rd, Gardiner Rd, Wilson Road and Sydney Road. They will be connected and marked with a system of Blue Route signage to highlight to locals and visitors that this is a safe and accessible cycling route.
