Le 28 d\u00e9cembre 1989, apr\u00e8s 114 ans de service ferroviaire, la Compagnie des chemins de fer nationaux du Canada a mis fin au transport ferroviaire \u00e0 l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard. Elle s\u2019est ensuite d\u00e9partie de l\u2019emprise de chemin de fer abandonn\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le regrett\u00e9 Donald Deacon, cycliste, activiste et philanthrope passionn\u00e9, avait parcouru \u00e0 v\u00e9lo d\u2019anciennes voies de chemin de fer semblables aux \u00c9tats-Unis. \u00c0 cet endroit, le Rails to Trails Conservancy avait fait pression avec succ\u00e8s pour transf\u00e9rer et convertir les lits de rail abandonn\u00e9s en pistes cyclables et en sentiers de randonn\u00e9e. Donald a reconnu que les m\u00eames possibilit\u00e9s s\u2019offraient \u00e0 l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard pour les loisirs et le tourisme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apr\u00e8s de nombreuses r\u00e9unions publiques, l\u2019organisme PEI Rails to Trails a vu le jour. Donald \u00e9tait d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 voir les 274 km d\u2019anciennes voies, allant de Tignish \u00e0 l\u2019ouest jusqu\u2019\u00e0 Elmira, \u00e0 l\u2019est, convertis \u00e0 un usage r\u00e9cr\u00e9atif, et le projet a finalement \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9 en ao\u00fbt 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prince Edward Island Trail, Inc. (Island Trails) a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tabli en 1994, \u00e0 titre de successeur de PEI Rails to Trails, au m\u00eame moment que le Sentier Transcanadien a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tabli. Le Sentier de la Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration est la contribution de cette province vers cet excellent travail. Le mandat du nouvel organisme s\u2019est \u00e9largi pour inclure la promotion, l\u2019am\u00e9nagement et l\u2019entretien de sentiers dans la province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La promotion et la protection du Sentier de la Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration se sont poursuivies depuis ce temps. Vers 2003, on a ajout\u00e9 le volet d\u2019am\u00e9nagement des sentiers de randonn\u00e9e en for\u00eat avec la d\u00e9signation et le lobbying pour l\u2019acc\u00e8s au site des bois\u00e9s Dromore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 2005, on a entam\u00e9 une planification s\u00e9rieuse pour ce sentier. L\u2019obtention de permis, le financement et la construction ont eu lieu de 2008 \u00e0 2009. Le sentier a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9sign\u00e9 comme section du Sentier international des Appalaches \u00e0 l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard. Les six autres sentiers bois\u00e9s ont suivi un parcours semblable, mais en acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9, et ils ont \u00e9t\u00e9 achev\u00e9s en 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le travail se poursuit, et des plans ont \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tablis pour apporter des am\u00e9liorations \u00e0 de nombreux sites de la liste des autres sentiers de randonn\u00e9e sur ce site Web. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Island Trails est une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e0 but non lucratif qui est r\u00e9gie par de nouveaux statuts adopt\u00e9s lors de l\u2019assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale annuelle de 2010 et modifi\u00e9s lors de l\u2019AGA de septembre 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
