Trans Canada Trail Partnerships

About the Organization

Partnerships

The support of government funders, sponsors and donors is essential to the Trail’s ability to support the efforts of hundreds of volunteer-led trail groups across the country and to promote the many benefits of the Trail.

We are proud to have the support of the following major partners as well as the participation of over 125,000 Canadians who have helped build the Trail by sponsoring a metre, becoming a member, making a donation or remembering the Trans Canada Trail in their will.

	Parks Canada Parks Canada protects and presents nationally significant examples of Canada's natural and cultural heritage and fosters public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment in ways that ensure their ecological and commemorative integrity for present and future generations. Through Parks Canada, the Government of Canada awarded $10 million in 2010 towards the completion and promotion of the Trans Canada Trail.
	Canadian Heritage Canadian Heritage is responsible for national policies and programs that promote Canadian content, foster cultural participation, active citizenship and participation in Canada's civic life, and strengthen connections among Canadians. The Trans Canada Trail’s development has been supported by a $15 million contribution from Canadian Heritage for capital development of trail as well as signage and project coordination.

	Raleigh Canada Raleigh Canada has contributed over $200,000 to the Trans Canada Trail since 2000, making them a significant national partner in the development of the Trail across the country.

	RBC RBC’s philanthropic support of the Trail is acting as a catalyst for bringing economic, health, environmental and cultural benefits to communities from coast to coast to coast as new Trail segments are developed. In addition to supporting the Trail’s continued development, the Foundation also made TCT’s Olympic Torch Relay legacy activities possible at 25 Pavilions located across the country.
