Background
Trans Canada Trail has made a formal Commitment to Reconciliation, and, to that end, has created two funding programs for Indigenous Communities: The Trails Support Program for First Nation, Métis and Inuit Communities and the Trail Funding Program’s Indigenous Communities Funding Stream.
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.
Eligibility
- Projects must be led by an Indigenous community
- Applicants are not required to be located along the Trans Canada Trail
Financial support
Under this program, all Indigenous communities are eligible to receive up to $10,000 for trail planning or improvements. 100% of project costs are eligible and no additional contributions are required. All Indigenous communities are eligible, including those not located along the Trans Canada Trail.
Examples of eligible projects
This may include trail maintenance, management and planning, seasonal preparation or improvements on and near the trail, and may also include the integration of community-specific cultural and social elements along the trail.
