Introducing Trans Canada Trail’s Community Giving Platform

Exciting news: we’re so pleased to announce the launch of Trans Canada Trail’s community giving platform.

At give.tctrail.ca, you can create your own fundraising page, share what the Trail means to you and invite others to contribute. From personal fitness challenges to milestone celebrations to community events and tributes, there are many ways to support the Trans Canada Trail at your upcoming event.

Create a peer-to-peer fundraiser

Creating a fundraiser makes it possible to help care for the world’s longest recreational trail on a personal level. The platform is open to individuals, families, schools, workplaces and community groups. There’s no minimum fundraising goal, so you can choose an amount that feels right for you. Trans Canada Trail also provides resources and guidance to help you get started.

Make it your own

To create your fundraiser, choose an activity or occasion, personalize your page with your story and photos, and share it with friends, family or colleagues. You might take on a walking or cycling challenge, dedicate an upcoming birthday to the Trail or create a page in memory of someone who loved spending time outdoors.

Add a little holiday spirit and give back

The holiday season offers plenty of inspiration for a community fundraiser.

Start an outdoor tradition with your loved ones. Bring friends or family together for a holiday walk and invite contributions to your fundraising page.

Donate in place of gifts. Ask loved ones to support your fundraiser in lieu of physical gifts.

Bring colleagues together. Add a fundraising element to a holiday gathering. Created a shared goal can help bring colleagues together as contributions come in.

Honour someone special. Create a tribute fundraiser in honour or in memory of a loved one and invite others to share Trail memories.

Support the Trail beyond the season

Funds raised through the community giving platform support Trans Canada Trail’s work with communities across the country, including maintenance, accessibility upgrades, trail enhancements and emergency repair work.
