Event Details

The Shuswap Trail Alliance (STA) will once again be hosting its much-anticipated annual fundraiser February 5-28. The community is invited to join us for the 2021 Shuswap Trails Deep Winter Lockdown Online Silent Auction. Last year’s in-person event attracted close to 500 guests and raised over $50,000 in support of STA trail projects throughout the region.

Trail Alliance leadership recognizes that for many Shuswap residents, businesses and organizations 2020 was a very hard year. Getting back to business as usual will take some time for everyone. For this very reason the 2021 online auction is being presented as an opportunity for the Shuswap community to promote their organizations, reach new customers and reconnect with existing followers. The Shuswap Trail Alliance is an important part of helping our community continue to be resilient, healthy and sustainable into the future. Trails bring us together.

Community businesses and individuals are invited to join long time partners and supporters from Salmon Arm and the greater Shuswap region with either a monetary donation or by contributing a product or service item for the silent auction.

Over the course of the ongoing pandemic, the STA has received many thankful messages from trail users of all ages and walks of life. “We are truly blessed with the wide and varied network of outdoor recreational trails we’ve collaboratively developed, built and maintained over the years,” says Jen Bellhouse, Associate Director of the STA. “It has become an invaluable community asset that supports both our physical and mental health. At the same time, the past year saw an unprecedented increase in trail usage, not just in the Shuswap, but all across Canada.”

The Shuswap Trail Alliance auction committee thanks and invites everyone throughout the region to join them for the 2021 Shuswap Trails Deep Winter Lockdown Online Auction. They look forward to seeing you online February 5-28 and as always in-person on our excellent trails, whether you are a hiker, biker, skier, or a casual pedestrian.
