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, or cross-country ski most days, depending on the season. Just retired, I look forward to spending more time on the trails, enjoying my grandchildren, and planting more trees.
