The Columbia River Skywalk, one of the longest suspension bridges of its kind in North America, spans the mighty Columbia River from Rotary Park in West Trail to McQuarrie Street in East Trail at 1000 feet from landing to landing. The pedestrian walkway is 12 feet wide and is made of a composite material. This commemorative tree was planted at the West entrance of the Columbia River Skywalk in Rotary Park located on Riverside Avenue.
"At the 1919 Union of BC Municipalities Conference, a resolution was adopted establishing the Local Government Management Association of BC (then called the Municipal Officers Association of BC).
For the past 100 years, the LGMA has worked to support the learning, leadership, and growth of local government professionals across the province.
LGMA is dedicated to supporting excellence in local government by providing high-quality practical training and resources. Every year the LGMA trains upwards of 1,500 local government professionals and has a membership of nearly 900 members.
To mark its 100th anniversary, the LGMA is working in partnership with BC Hydro’s Community Regreening Program to provide all local governments in BC with a tree they can plant to recognize the dedication, hard work, and innovation by local government professionals during Local Government Awareness Week."
