Love Our Trails
MLAs: Take the #LoveOurTrailsNS Challenge!
This February, Hike NS invites MLAs across Nova Scotia to take the #LoveOurTrailsNS challenge.
We’re asking them to get out onto a local trail in February, snap a photo and share on social media with the #LoveOurTrailsNS hashtag to show that they support trails.
💗 Get on the Map 💗
We’ll be
celebrating MLAs who participate on a map throughout the month and sharing it with our following on
Instagram,
Facebook and
Twitter.
