For those of you who have breathlessly awaited the upgrade or others who were just plain annoyed at being unable to Navigate the Trail, some good news to start your weekend.
Thanks to our crack team of computer geeks, in particular Stéphane Simard, you can now enter a postal code, address or city anywhere in Canada and find the nearest TCT access point. The map format will be familiar to those who have previously used GoogleMaps.
Click here to check it out. To access the Trail Locator from our website, select the tab marked “The Trail” and click on “Navigate the Trail” on the left-hand side of the page. The pavilion search function is in development – we’ll let you know as soon as it’s up and running. In the meantime, have fun on the (virtual) Trans Canada Trail!

The Trans Canada Trail (TCT) and Oasis Insurance (as represented by Ken Anderson of Prestige Insurance Brokers) are pleased to announce a new insurance program designed specifically for the Trans Canada Trail and all its partner organizations at the provincial and territorial levels including all their members.*
Sanderson Layng, President and CEO of the Trans Canada Trail says “We are very pleased to provide this opportunity to our partners and their members in an effort to alleviate one of the most difficult problems in the creation of trail in Canada. While we believe that insurance coverage will ultimately be solved through legislative reform, the program designed by Ken Anderson of Oasis is a very helpful solution for today and we are grateful for his leadership in putting this program together based on his 12 years of experience in assessing our Trail requirements and needs.”
“By participating under the Trans Canada Trail banner, trail organizations are able to reduce costs and improve coverage significantly,” says Ken Anderson, “and we invite all trail organizations to come to our website to download and complete an application under the Trans Canada Trail banner to experience reduced costs, greater coverage for liability and new opportunities for coverage for Directors and Officers as well as accident benefits.”
