Trail Builders
For a project of this scope and magnitude to succeed, it must have the support of Canadians from all walks of life and every level of society. Hundreds of local trail organizations are helping us make history and build the Trans Canada Trail.
We are honoured to work with over 400 local trail groups, municipalities and conservation authorities that build and manage the local sections of the Trail. The local trail builders are, without doubt, the lifeblood of the Trail. They do everything from planning trail routes, raising funds, clearing brush, installing bridges, securing permits, putting up signs, running events and encouraging people to get out and enjoy the Trail.
To find out more about becoming a local trail builder please contact one of the Provincial or Territorial organizations below.

A Greenways vision
Since its founding, the TCT's vision has been a trail stretching from coast to coast to coast. A trail for the enjoyment of hikers/walkers, cyclists, horseback riders and, more recently, canoeists and kayakers in summer, and cross country skiers, snowshoers and snowmobilers in winter.
In March 2009, the TCT Board reaffirmed this vision, in Greenways: Vision and Core Principles. This document states the organization's commitment to developing, as a priority, a Greenway trail that promotes non-motorized uses in summer, and skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobiling in winter.
Chapter 150
This circle of influential and visionary leaders will help us connect the Trail and all Canadians.
