Today, TCT is pleased to publish National Guidelines: Responsible Trail Operations and Visitation during the COVID-19 Pandemic, which contains information and resources on how to keep trail operators and users safe at this time. To create these guidelines, we reached out to experts across the nation for their most recommended practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19. 

The full guidelines are available below. Given the ever-evolving nature of the pandemic, this document will regularly be reviewed and updated to reflect the latest evidence and public health advice pertaining to trails, and recreating responsibly.  

I’d like to thank those who responded to our national survey of trail operators, and am delighted to also include a link to those results, located on our website. Your answers really helped us take the pulse of the trail sector in Canada. They have enhanced our knowledge, and that of our government partners, with whom we have shared this important information. Scroll down to read highlights of the survey results.

Thanks again for all you do, and take care.

National Guidelines

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered life for all Canadians. More than ever, Canadians are turning to their trails as a venue for daily physical activity, family time and mental respite. As provinces and territories begin to reopen, trail operators and visitors are in need of guidance on how trails can be operated, maintained and enjoyed in a way that helps limit the further transmission of COVID-19.

The purpose of these guidelines is to provide consistent operational and management practices that all trail operators should consider taking to mitigate the risk of transmitting COVID-19 through the trail environment and to help visitors feel safer while enjoying their trail experience.
