Rachel Lester

Rachel is responsible for coordinating and delivering events that bring communities together on the Trans Canada Trail. With a background in provincial and national sport organizations, she has managed everything from championships to fundraising banquets, gaining expertise in logistics, stakeholder coordination and creating engaging spectator experiences. Her Sport Management diploma from Humber College has provided a strong foundation for her career in event planning and execution. 

Based in Ancaster, Rachel finds inspiration on the trails — especially the Dundas Valley Conservation Area, which is home to her favorite section of the Trans Canada Trail. Outside of work, she loves staying active with her dog, exploring new trails together and keeping him just as energized as she is.
