MISSION STATEMENT
Trans Canada Trail Ontario is committed to the continued advancement of the development of The Great Trail for the benefit of people and communities along its route.
WHO WE ARE
Trans Canada Trail Ontario (TCTO) is the lead provincial not for
profit organization that represents The Great Trail in Ontario,
founded in 1992. TCTO’s mandate is to plan and support
trail development across the province, with help from local
agencies, government organizations, community associations,
Aboriginal Communities and First Nations communities.
Ontario’s section of The Great Trail stretches over 5,000
kilometres, and offers a diverse range of trails allowing for
a multitude of world-class outdoor experiences in both
urban, rural and wilderness settings in the southern and
northern regions of the province.
The Great Trail in Ontario connects approximately 150
communities through a collection of interconnected trails.
TCTO is working to maintain a strong continuous
connection in Ontario - the longest section of The Great
Trail’s coast to coast to coast network. TCTO does this by:
• Providing leadership on matters critical
to trail connection where action is
needed to assist trail partners;
• Being the provincial contact for
Trans Canada Trail (National) for the
coordination of The Great Trail in Ontario;
• Supporting our trail partnerships to ensure
connection, enhancement and sustainability of
The Great Trail by working with national, provincial,
regional and local stakeholders; and
• Facilitating the sharing of information and resources
about The Great Trail and trail partners.
WHAT WE DO
• TCTO is the lead provincial organization working
to build and maintain a strong community of
volunteers, supporters and trail enthusiasts.
• TCTO develops, nurtures, and promotes
partnerships with those who want to see
The Great Trail fully connected and protected.
• TCTO is involved in trail planning, fundraising,
advocacy and coordination, distribution of public
information, education and sustainability of
The Great Trail and its connecting “Spine”.
• TCTO is, and will continue to be the one window for
review and recommendation of funding proposals
from trail partners and Trans Canada Trail (National).
