The grants, up to $1,500 each, were awarded following an application process and can be used toward a number of trail activities, including accessibility improvements, clean-up, debris removal, art installation, maintenance or volunteer appreciation.
The Trans Canada Trail is giving close to $13,000 to trail groups in this province as part of their annual Trail Care Grant Program. The program opens every spring – when trail groups are preparing for the busy season – and has engaged thousands of volunteers in its five-year history. The grants, up to $1,500 each, were awarded following an application process and can be used toward a number of trail activities, including accessibility improvements, clean-up, debris removal, art installation, maintenance or volunteer appreciation. One of the projects includes winter erosion repairs on the Corner Brook Connector. The dollars spent on trail improvement won’t go to waste. A 2023 report shows that communities along the Trans Canada see enormous economic benefit. Every year, trail users spend more than $13 billion at businesses and services along their route, and trail activity supports more than 220,000 jobs across the country.
