Trans Canada Trail
This national gem spans all provinces and territories, and some 50 km of it passes through our towns and villages.
At 28,000 km, the Trans Canada Trail is the world’s longest multi-use trail system. It crosses all provinces and territories, touching all three coastlines. It connects our massive nation, reminding us all that we share another Canadian “national dream.”
The TCT stretches across our local landscape, following a series of existing trails and smaller roads, passing through Hillsburgh, Erin, Cataract, Inglewood, Caledon East and Palgrave.
When walking, bicycling, skiing or snowshoeing and you see a sign advising that you are following the TCT, take a moment to thank those who made this dream a reality and consider donating a few dollars to help cover the costs to build and maintain this Canadian gem. tctrail.ca
