Beaver Boardwalk Rehabilitation Update

The Town of Hinton and the Beaver Boardwalk Community Oversight Committee (BBOC) are pleased to provide the community with a tentative schedule for upcoming rehabilitation work on the boardwalk. 

All construction within the wetland must be conducted under frozen conditions, so the timelines associated with this project are fluid and weather-dependent. Expect to see Robson Design Build, the construction contractor, on-site at Maxwell Lake as early as the last week of December to set up the staging area in the Beaver Boardwalk overflow parking lot on Collinge Road. If you want to get involved in rebuilding this local gem as a carpenter or skilled labourer, please contact Robson Design Build at info@robson.ca for more information.

The anticipated start date for construction is January 6th, 2025, with construction lasting approximately 60-75 consecutive days, depending on weather conditions.

Rehabilitation of Phase II sections

The Town of Hinton and BBOC again thank the Forest Resource Improvement Association of Alberta for their generous contribution of $2.5M, which will ensure the completion of Phases I and II. Funding for Phase 3 is still pending. Once funding is secured, an update regarding the schedule for this work will be provided.
