Annual Report

The Strategies for Success were informed by research, environment scans and engagement with Board members, staff, partners, donors and volunteers, as well as an examination of the practices and programs of leading trail organizations around the world. These consultations led to the articulation of this new strategic direction, which will guide our activities in the coming years, to ensure the Trans Canada Trail continues to connect and highlight Canada’s diverse landscapes, seasons, people and experiences.

The past year has had its ups and downs due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The silver lining, though, is that the outdoors became a place to gather, relax, stay active, have fun and maintain a strong link with nature. We saw a major upswing in trail use, as people discovered (or rediscovered) the pleasure of the outdoors and enjoyed the many physical and mental benefits of being active outside. We’re maintaining our momentum, continuing to work alongside excellent partners, local trail groups and supporters to maintain the Trail and ensure it’s here for years to come.

Our achievements this year wouldn’t be possible without our many supporters. Trans Canada Trail is grateful for their contributions.
