The Ontario Trails Strategy is a long-term plan that establishes strategic directions for planning, managing, promoting and using trails in Ontario. Developed in collaboration with other ministries and a wide range of stakeholders in the community, the strategy supports continued cooperation among governments and the not-for profit and private sectors as we work towards a shared vision for trails. All stakeholders will be important partners in the success of the strategy.

Trails play an important role in building a healthier, more prosperous Ontario. The Ontario Trails Strategy provides a framework to guide future decision-making and will help strengthen Ontario’s trail system. The trails strategy will also make a major contribution to ACTIVE2010, the Government of Ontario’s plan to increase sport participation and levels of physical activity among Ontarians.

The Government of Ontario would like to thank the many stakeholders and other ministries who contributed generously throughout the development of the Ontario Trails Strategy.
