WATERLOO The City of Waterloo is helping connect the community with local musicians and poets while encouraging people to get their steps in. The initiative, called Trail Mix, pairs playlists with trails. We have so many beautiful trails in the city and in the region, and so we wanted to start animating this trails with different arts and culture aspects, said Lakyn Barton with the City of Waterloo. Music was obviously the easiest connection. There are QR codes posted along the Forwell Trail, the Walter Bean Grand River Trail and the Spur Line and Laurel Trail. People can scan the code on their phone s camera, select the link and hit play.
