National Recreational Trails

New in Canada's Economic Action Plan

Through Canada's Economic Action Plan, the federal government has committed $25 million to the National Trails Coalition in 2009-2010. Funding will be used by the National Trails Coalition to build and renew multi-purpose trails for walking, running, cross-country skiing, biking, all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles.

About the Program

Trails allow Canadians to experience our country's unrivalled natural environment. This $25-million investment will lead to economic activity in communities and create a lasting legacy of pristine trails that will benefit Canadians for years to come.

Who Is Eligible

Funding will be provided to the National Trails Coalition. This coalition is a non-profit association whose member organizations provide stewardship of much of Canada's trail infrastructure. The government's contribution of $25 million will be matched by the coalition and its partners.
