Canada’s Great Trail 100 per cent connected

The Great Trail has become fully linked, connecting the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic Oceans and the land in between.

The trail, nearly 24,000K worth, running, cycling and canoeing routes, became fully connected recently though further development is still ongoing in certain sections. The project, started as the Trans Canada Trail in 1992, has been 25 years in the making, in time for Canada 150.
