What if joy were just a step away?

A walk on the Trail starts with a simple step but often leads to something much more.

People come for the fresh air or exercise, but leave with lighter hearts, clearer minds and a deeper sense of connection. They find joy.

And science confirms what we feel:

Spending time in nature can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve mood and even enhance cognitive function. Nature isn’t just beautiful, it’s essential to our well-being.

Your support helps ensure that everyone in Canada has access to these health benefits, even on the darkest day of winter.

Thanks to a generous $100,000 match from our Board of Directors, your year-end gift will be doubled. Every dollar becomes two — helping to repair sections damaged by wildfires and storms, improving accessibility, and connecting more people and communities to the joy of the Trail.

And yes — you’ll receive a 2025 tax receipt for your generosity.
