Connects the 13 territories and provinces of the country
From Newfoundland and Labrador (Newfoundland and Labrador, in the east) to British Columbia (west), The Great Trail already has 20,770 kilometers, that is, with 87% of its route built , they explain on the Inhabitat website.
This recreational road connects the entire country and its inhabitants in a literal sense, since 80% of Canadians (four out of five) live within 30 minutes of one of the points of entry , they report on The Great Trail website.
26% of the route can be done on water
In addition to allowing you to discover the diversity of Canada's landscapes, this road contributes to environmental conservation, promotes active lifestyles, introduces visitors to the culture and history of the country and creates jobs related to tourism along the entire route.
Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the beginning of this project and with the 150th anniversary of the creation of the Confederation of Canada, 2017 is expected to be the year of completion . By then, it will connect the three oceans that bathe the country, as well as 15,000 communities.
