Congratulations, Jason Spears!

Celtic Shores Coastal Trail recognizes Jason Spears as our 2024 Volunteer of the Year. Jason, an Inverness native who resides in Port Hawkesbury, is an invaluable member of Celtic Shores Coastal Trail.

Jason has a passion for local history, and railway history in particular. His interest in bridge construction and his willingness to volunteer his engineering expertise to monitor the condition of the iconic Inverness trestle has enabled the Shean Trail volunteers to confidently maintain that section of CSCT. Jason is currently spearheading the drive to obtain funding to restore the Inverness trestle to its previous glory.

Celtic Shores Coastal Trail needs volunteers like Jason who appreciate the value of maintaining the rails to trails infrastructure and preserve the history of Inverness County.

Thank you, Jason!
