关于Trans Canada Trail有如下介绍:
Canada is in the process of constructing the world's longest recreation pathway, the Trans Canada Trail. When completed it will total more than 17,000 km (10,000 miles) in length. The east-west route from Saint John's, Newfoundland to Victoria, British Columbia will measure in the vicinity of 10,000 km (6,200 miles). Travelling by highway is actually about 9,000 km from coast to coast but the trail makes lots of scenic detours. A second leg of the Trans Canada Trail will run north from Calgary, Alberta through the Yukon to the Arctic Ocean.
Development of recreation paths for biking, walking and--in certain cases, other activities such as horseback riding--is proceeding at fast pace in all regions of Canada. Many provinces have trail-building projects underway that will include sections of the TCT. The trail will actually be woven together from hundreds of local trails such as the Galloping Goose in British Columbia, the Petit Témis in Quebec and New Brunswick and PEI's Confederation Trail.
温哥华部分主要资金主要不是来自政府,Trails BC is a volunteer-directed non-profit organization funded through donations and sponsorships.
Volunteer support is essential to the Trans Canada Trail initiative. Individuals, communities, schools, service clubs, corporations, governments and countless other organizations have joined together in this national partnership.
