Trail Stewards

The Training and Professional Development initiative provides a combination of education and employment experiences and resources, while promoting inclusion in the trail sector and greater longevity in the trail workforce. Through education and work experiences, the next generation will have the knowledge and skills needed to contribute to trails  across Canada, including the Trans Canada Trail. 

The impact of the Training and Professional Development initiative extends across all provinces and territories. To see some of the many successes of this initiative, view our 2022-2023 Annual Report.
