Trans Canada Trail to be completed by 2017
A fully-connected Trans Canada Trail, one of the most ambitious projects in Canadian history, should be complete by 2017 according to Jane Murphy, national director for the Trans Canada Trail. Murphy told delegates attending the Transportation Association of Canada annual conference that the goal is to have the remaining 6,200 kilometres open in time for Canada's 150th birthday on July 1, 2017. The development of the national trail system has been ongoing for more than two decades.
