Hiking
A Brief Overview:

Hiking is defined as hiking and walking trails, and the organized associations have a mandate to promote walking, hiking and trail development.

There are hiking days in many provinces that promote hiking with a focus on families, new hikers and community groups.

Trail clubs sponsor individual programs that include awards for walking trails in a specific period of time. Hiking has developed and implimented accreditation programs for hiking leaders, which is open to any person seeking accreditation to lead group hikes.

Member organizations include Trails from accross the country, such as the Bruce Trail, and Rideau Trail. In addition to organized hiking, recreational hiking exists in many forms and is practised by virtually everyone at some period in time.
