== Culture ==
[[lt:Oreadės]]
The residential communities of Trail become the town's cultural mecca on Saturday nights after a win by the local junior A hockey team, when parties attracting team players and high school students run deep into the night. Many local girls hesitate to date players however, as the fear of being labelled "puckbunnies" is too great for some.
