St. Albert walkers met on February 5, 1988 at the Glaewyn Club House to discuss the formation of a club. Zelda Phillips was elected president and the first trail director was Pete Awender. A meeting was called for March 2, 1988 at the Glaewyn Club House for which we have the first recorded minutes followed by an Annual General Meeting on March 22.
Since 1988 the Trekkers have grown from a St Albert walking club to a Capital Region walking club with members and walks in Edmonton and surrounding communities. This section on the web site has been established to capture the club history and make this history available to everyone.
