Why I’m Participating in the Great Canadian Hike

Like you, I've known the benefits of hiking, walking and cycling on trails since I was a child. When I was very young and my mom would ask me how I wanted to spend my birthday, every year I'd say "a hike!".

When I was 16 I had the good fortune of getting a job at the local Parks and Rec Dept, working at a neighbourhood park for the summer. It was then that I understood the importance of parks and trails in our lives.

Now I am in my 12th year at Trans Canada Trail and again, I have a front row seat to the incredible impact that trails have on our lives.

And that's why I am participating in the Great Canadian Hike - Because whether it's annual maintenance to keep a trail open, cleanup after a flood, installation of an accessible footbridge, construction of a washroom, design of Indigenous interpretive signage, activation of technology for people who are Blind, or advocacy....Trans Canada Trail supports hundreds of trail projects across Canada each year.

The Great Canadian Hike is a nationwide challenge where people across Canada will hike, bike, run, paddle or roll and log their kilometres to collectively reach 30,000 kilometres in 30 days — the length of the Trans Canada Trail from coast to coast to coast.

From September 20 to October 19, I’ll be logging my kilometres and raising funds so we can continue to support the Trail for everyone, now and for future generations.

Please consider joining my team, donating directly to my fundraising page, or sharing my campaign with your network to help spread the word.

Thank you!
