Maya Sperer

Coordinator, Trail Funding and Infrastructure

Maya draws on her professional experience in civil engineering, construction, and recreation programming to bring a hands-on understanding of how infrastructure projects come together, and the people behind them. 

This practical foundation is complemented by an academic background in Geography from Concordia University, where she focused on natural resource management, forest stewardship, and field-based ecology. These studies inform her vision for trail infrastructure that connects communities and deepens our relationship with Canada’s diverse landscapes. 

Based in Montréal, Quebec, she grew up exploring the Laurentians, where the Parc linéaire le P’tit Train du Nord, a 234-kilometre multi-use path that follows a historic railway, remains her favorite local section. 

Looking ahead, Maya is committed to supporting projects that leave a lasting impact, helping ensure the Trail continues to inspire, connect, and serve future generations.
