Trans Canada Trail President and CEO Deborah Apps, Director Jim Bishop, and National Campaign Director Gail Urquhart were on hand to celebrate along with Chair of the Board, Valerie Pringle, who spoke to the enthusiastic crowd. “Please love it, and please use it,” she said of the newly completed Trail. “Be a part of something as great and beautiful as Canada itself. And when you do use it, dream big.”

The Banff Legacy Trail is 70% complete with five crossing structures to be added in the fall of this year.  When finished, it will run 26km from the East gate of  Banff National Park to the Bow Valley Parkway.

Did you know that the Trans Canada Trail water route in northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories travels through Wood Buffalo National Park?  Established in 1992 to protect the endangered wood buffalo, Canada’s largest national park is now home to the world’s largest herd of free-roaming bison and the world’s only natural nesting site of the whooping crane.

UNESCO designated Wood Buffalo National Park as a World Heritage Site in 1983.
