Trans Canada Trail is joining communities throughout the country to celebrate International Trails Day 2025 on June 7. Events in nine provinces and two territories will highlight the dedication of volunteers and community groups in preserving the 29,000km trail system that connects Canada from coast to coast to coast.
The 13 celebrations will showcase the many ways local volunteers contribute to the nationwide trail’s maintenance and improvement. Each location will offer its own unique way for the public to engage with the trail, with activities ranging from trail clean ups and tree planting to fun runs and guided trail tours.
Celebrated annually on the first Saturday in June, International Trails Day is a celebration of trails and what they mean to communities around the world.
“When we come together to celebrate the Trail, we celebrate what it means to be Canadian,” said Mathieu Roy, CEO of Trans Canada Trail.
“Nature is essential to Canada’s national identity and trails are a vital way for people across the country to enjoy our vast natural landscape. International Trails Day is a perfect time to recognize how our trails connect us not only to nature, but to one another as well.”
