REPRESENTATION TO HIKE CANADA EN MARCHE

Hike Ontario represents the interests of Ontario 's hikers and walkers at Hike Canada En Marche through a nominated representative to the OTC Board of Directors.

For over thirty years, Hike Canada En Marche has been working on the vision of a footpath across Canada . But the trail is not an end in itself; it is a means of achieving these four goals:

• To promote general fitness through healthy outdoor activities;
• To help preserve places of natural, scenic, heritage, and historical values;
• To promote non-motorized tourism and education; and
• To promote bonding of unifying environmental interests across the nation.

Piece by piece, the scenic 10,000 kilometre foot trail is growing to connect the Atlantic to the Pacific. Our long-held vision of a greenway connecting existing natural-surface pedestrian trail systems with parklands and wild places is becoming a reality. Already, trails spanning much of British Columbia , Ontario , Quebec and New Brunswick are in use. Once established, the trail corridor will help to protect our heritage of natural landscapes and historic places, and provide passage, habitat, and refuge for wildlife.
