Windsor Essex Bike Community (WEBC) - Phase 3 OF Libro Trail Build

Windsor Essex Bike Community (WEBC) is a registered nonprofit and volunteer organization committed to using cycling and the power of community to create meaningful & positive impacts for residents all over Windsor-Essex. WEBC promotes all types of cycling in Essex County, while providing a platform to pursue mutually beneficial partnerships between the riding community and local government.

WEBC’s key functions include:

• Advocating for the development of new cycling-specific trails in across Essex County.

• Promoting all aspects of cycling to increase community involvement, tourism, and economic growth within the region.

• Uniting the local riding community to create mutually beneficial partnerships between riders and local government.

WEBC is determined to continue building a premier, public trail network at the Libro Centre in Amherstburg. Phases 1 & 2 of the project were a massive success, and now they are fundraising for Phase 3 of the project, to be completed by summer of 2025. Phase 3 of the project will transform the Libro Trails into the largest sanctioned trail network in Essex County and will take this recreation venue to the next level.

Windsor Essex Bike Community proposal for Phase 3 adds another 3km XC cross country trail loop behind the Libro Centre connecting with the existing Phase 1 & 2 trails. This new trail will be an "intermediate" level trail to offer room for rider skill progression.

Phase 3 will help the growth of youth riding and enhance their extremely popular WEBC Youth riding club open to all young riders in Windsor & Essex County. Let’s join together to get more kids outside and on bikes. With Phase 3, WEBC will have a sufficient amount of trails to help promote and host various mountain bike races, skill clinics, and other cycling events for the community to enjoy.

The Amherstburg Community Foundation is proud to support this initiative’s perfect alignment with our mission, vision and our values and we invite you to consider donating to this high-value and community-focused initiative.
