Description

Beaver Boardwalk | Hinton, AB - Official Website

West Fraser Mills Ltd. sponsored the construction in 2006 of this Beaver Boardwalk to commemorate the 50th anniversary of West Fraser's Hinton operation and the Town of Hinton. In 1955, the construction of the Hinton pulp mill began, with completion of the facility taking place the following year. As well, in 1956 the Town of Hinton was incorporated, amalgamating with Drinnan in 1957, which makes up the valley area of present day Hinton. The construction of the Beaver Boardwalk was largely completed by the hard work of dedicated volunteers. Two standout volunteers were Rick Bonar and Rocky Morin who are each recognized with commemorative plaques in the Beaver Boardwalk observation towers. Interpretive signs were updated in 2017, as a joint project of the Town of Hinton and West Fraser Mills Ltd. This project was supported through a grant provided by the Forest Resource Improvement Association of Alberta.
