This network is built by hands like yours
Give an hour or a season, open a gate, fund a connection or help govern a young institution. And whatever brings you here, one simple form reaches us all.
Volunteer
Give an hour. Or a season.
Volunteers are the association’s workforce, on the trails and behind the scenes.
- Planting days: help establish Miyawaki mini-forests along the network
- Trail stewardship: adopt a section, report conditions, keep it welcoming
- Events: course marshals, water stations and welcome teams for the Trails-Giving 5K
- Skills volunteering: mapping, photography, translation, communications, grant writing
Donate
Every gift helps our community do more for trails
Public investment supports the responsibilities of government. Community philanthropy lets you contribute beyond taxation: donations power citizen engagement, volunteer initiatives, education, events, community programs and initiatives carried out with the appropriate public partners.
- 100% of donations serve the mission. We are a volunteer-driven organization.
- Secure online giving through Zeffy, a platform built for non-profits with zero platform fees.
- Charitable registration is in progress; tax receipts will be offered once granted.
Open your land
One gate can connect a region
If your property sits between two trails, you may hold one of the region’s missing links. Sharing a path is simple, protected and always on your terms, and any corridor would be developed in collaboration with the appropriate public partners.
- You stay in control, with voluntary agreements that are adjustable and revocable
- Liability protections and clearly defined corridors
- A lasting legacy your neighbours and friends will use every day
Join the board
Help govern a young institution
The association is incorporated and registered since July 2026. We are assembling a skills-based board of directors to guide its first connections and its path to charitable status.
We especially welcome experience in:
- Governance, law and non-profit administration
- Finance, accounting and fundraising
- Urban planning, engineering and land management
- Ecology, forestry and conservation science
- Communications and community engagement, in both official languages
