Some of the results have started to flow in. A number of communities held walks on Provincial/International Trails Day.

We will provide links to other walks and trail celebrations that took place June 7, as well as throughout the year. The Ontario Trails "Mayor's Walk" events are open to OTC member organizations to act as hosts for a walk in 2025. Tell us when you are having an event in 2025 Event Notification Sheet.

With trails in 100's of Ontario Communities this is a great way to showcase your local support while enabling all the Mayor's and their trail friends to get out for a celebration of trails.
