A $25 service charge will be levied on all NSF cheques. Courses may be cancelled if registration is low. Complete refunds will be given if a course is cancelled. You will be contacted if a course is cancelled or there are changes in date or location.

There will be no course refunds after the registration deadline If registrations are cancelled, a $10 fee will apply. (this does not include the online transaction fee)

Trails Master Plan 2017

Edson Town Council has adopted the Trails Master Plan and administration is now formulating a plan for implementation. The plan assesses current pedestrian infrastructure (with a primary emphasis placed on the Trails system) and establishes measures by which it can be improved in the short and long terms.
