We've started to look at the best way we can highlight the canal, its landmarks and the surrounding communities since the spotlight has been put on the waterway.
British Waterways' website, reports that a community meeting is being held on Monday to start a discussion about ways to widen awareness and understanding of the 11-mile corridor.
The site says initiatives will range from community arts projects through to heritage and biodiversity volunteer work, assisting in maintenance and restoration of sites and features along local sections of the canal corridor.
Community development officer Piers Warburton is the link between official partners like British Waterways and Wrexham Council with the community and he'll be liaising with the nine communities dotted along the canal to see how they might get involved.
They are: Chirk, Pentre, Froncysyllte, Trevor, Garth, Pontcysyllte, Llangollen, Pentrefelin and Llantysilio.
