About the Walk

Come log some kilometres with us at Toronto's newest waterfront park! Join the Great Canadian Hike community for an evening of connecting with fellow participants before heading out on a 3km group walk through Biidaasige Park and, where possible, along a nearby section of the Trans Canada Trail.

This will be a memorable opportunity to celebrate the Great Canadian Hike Challenge together. Stop by our event booth to meet the team, learn more about Trans Canada Trail, and connect with hikers from across the community.
