The IMBA Canada trail crew paid a recent visit to the North Shore.  On Nov 18^th 2011 Chad & Deanne Lazaruk from IMBA shared the knowledge of sustainable trail building with the community.  Putting theory into practice, the half day of classroom theory was followed by a day and a half of building a new reroute on Dreamweaver.
