Supporting Canada’s Trail

The Trans Canada Trail is not just a trail. It's a 30,000-kilometre network that connects people and communities from coast to coast to coast.

I’m excited to join the Great Canadian Hike, a nationwide challenge to hike, bike, paddle or roll in support of the Trail.

From September 1 to 30, I’ll be logging my kilometres, contributing to the national goal of 100,000 kilometres in 30 days, while raising funds to help keep the Trail accessible, safe, and thriving — for everyone, now and for future generations.

You can sign up to participate, donate directly to my fundraising page, or share my campaign with your network to help spread the word.

Let’s be part of something great — together.

Athabasca Landing Trail

Thursday 1st Oct
Thanks to the Great Canadian Hike initiative  for getting me to hike even a short part of the Athabasca Landing Trail in Alberta -- more will follow. This historic overland route between Edmonton  (the navigable North Saskatchewan River) and  the Athabasca  River  is also a part of my personal history. Just north of Perryvale, the Trail has two routes - the low road along the later railway and  old  Highway 2, and the high road along the east side of the Tawatina River Valley. This High Road went through the farm  that I lived on  during my teen years. 
I walked, rode my horse, and drove my tractor along that trail many times.  Many miles, many memories. 
This September, I walked with a friend and her dog south from Athabasca and back, thankful for the Trans Canada Trail.

I  started my day with my personal aquafit routine that I try  to do three times a week. This afternoon, I walked a few blocks to carry out some errands and have an ice cream from the corner store. What a lovely day it was in Beaumont, Alberta! Cheers!

Thank you to my supporters
