Trans Canada Trail: The Great Trail

Trans Canada Trail (TCT) is a not-for-profit organization created in 1992. TCT is working with donors, partners and volunteers to create The Great Trail of Canada – an epic network of trails offering a wide range of activities. By Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017, The Great Trail will be the longest and grandest recreational trail in the world and will wind its way through a variety of landscapes – urban, rural and wilderness – along greenway, waterway and roadway. It will span 24,000 kilometres, link our three oceans and connect over 15,000 communities. The Government of Canada is supporting Trans Canada Trail in developing The Great Trail, through a matching grant of one federal dollar for every two dollars raised, up to $25 million.

The Nova Scotia Trails Federation is a non-profit organization and provincially registered charity that represents the interests of trail users and community-based volunteer trail groups in Nova Scotia. NS Trails supports the work of community groups in the planning, building, maintenance and management stages of recreational trails in communities throughout the province.
