Trail Funding Opportunities

The Trail Funding Program is intended to support Trail operators across Canada in the development and enhancement of the Trans Canada Trail by offering a range of funding streams designed to support specific Trail priorities. 

The Trails Support Program for First Nation, Métis and Inuit Communities is intended to assist Indigenous communities across the country in enhancing their trails. All Indigenous communities are eligible.

Each year, thousands of volunteers undertake projects to ensure that all users can safely access the benefits of outdoor recreation on the Trans Canada Trail. Our Trail Care grant program provides funding for projects to improve Trail sections, supporting the transition from one season to another.

The National Trail Youth Employment Program (YEP) is intended to support jobs that contribute to the development and improvement of trails and the trail sector.
