Our Great Canadian Hike Progress

Our Goal: 1,500 kms

IT'S ABOUT TO GET AWESOME

Feels like the last 2 weeks have absolutely flown by! As I've been checking the website every day, softly sending out my page's support link and trying to get my colleagues settled and joined  up, I can only feel an inspiring sense of excitement.

I'm not sure what I could say other than 'it's going to be awesome'.

Truth be told, I don't know if I'll reach my own donation goal; nor do I know if the team will have time to dedicate to the efforts. Most of my colleagues and friends are in school at this time of year, and the little leisure time they have on their hands (rightfully) belongs entirely to them. I think the most important thing for me is that, at the very least, people feel the same way I do about our beautiful outdoors.

And so what if we don't reach the goal we set for ourselves ? -- Are we not constantly told that the journey is the very objective ? My ultimate hope is that we get to enjoy this beautiful Autumn however we can with the people we love and cherish.

Can't wait for it to start; Happy Trails fellow Adventurers !

Walking the talk avec l'équipe MEC Laval

There’s something magical about being on the Trail. The fresh air, the stillness of the trees, and the sense of connection to nature and community. We’ve always found the outdoors to be a place of peace, wellness and perspective — and the Trans Canada Trail offers all that and more.

This fall, we’re coming together to take part in the Great Canadian Hike to help protect and maintain this incredible national treasure. As the longest multi-use trail system in the world, the Trail stretches nearly 30,000 kilometres and connects people and places from coast to coast to coast.

From September 20 to October 19, we’ll be logging our kilometres and challenging ourselves to raise funds alongside thousands of people across Canada — all working together toward a collective goal to collectively log 30,000 kilometres in 30 days. Together, we’re helping ensure the Trail remains accessible, safe and thriving for everyone, now and for generations to come.

We’d love your support! You can:

  • Join our team and hike with us
  • Donate to our fundraiser
  • Spread the word and cheer us on

Together, let’s be part of something GREAT — for our health, our communities, and the future of the Trail.
