Ruth Delong

Ruth started hiking in 1979 while backpacking across Canada and New Zealand. She spent 18 years as a volunteer board member with Island Trails. From there, she was recommended as Trails Community Relations Coordinator with PEI Parks. 

Where do you live in PEI?
I live in St. Catherines, five minutes from the beautiful hiking trails of Bonshaw and Strathgartney. I have spent the majority of my life in PEI with stops in Manitoba and England.

What is an average day for you?
I’m very active and either cycle, hike, canoe/kayak or cross-country ski most days, depending on the season. Just retired, I look forward to spending more time on the trails and water, enjoying my grandchildren, and planting many more native trees and shrubs.
