The Great Trail Day Event: Video and Photos
2017 not only marked the 150th anniversary of Confederation, it’s also the year we reached 100% national connection of the Trans Canada Trail. Saturday August 26 was a day to celebrate connection and to thank our generous, devoted and fun-loving volunteers, partners and donors for their hard work in connecting The Great Trail across Canada.
Inverness County, Canada’s Musical Coast, hosted community celebrations from Creignish to Inverness to Marble Mountain and communities in between!
Below is a video and photos that highlight just a few of the locations and celebrations that took place.
