Celebrating 20 years...and looking forward to Connection 2017
The Trans Canada Trail, the world’s longest and grandest trail, is celebrating its 20th Anniversary in 2012. What began in 1992 as a legacy project of Canada’s 125th Anniversary has grown into 16,500 kilometres of connected trail from coast to coast to coast. Through the dedication and commitment of countless volunteers; generous donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations; and the support of all levels of government, the Trail is 6,000 kilometres away from being fully connected. Our goal is to fully connect the Trail in time for another celebration – Canada’s 150th Anniversary in 2017.
