IMBA Canada Trail Care Crew

Do you want to engage your volunteers, learn new techniques to build sustainable, multi-use trails, and have some fun? Then you've come to the right place!

The IMBA Canada Trail Care Crew is a dynamic two-person team of professional trailbuilders, educators, and enablers. Supported by Parks Canada and the Trans Canada Trail, the Crew travels across the country year-round, getting Canadians of all ages outdoors, and educating them about sustainable trails!

Visits are free and open to all non-motorized trail users. They are hosted by IMBA-affiliated clubs, Parks Canada sites and Trans Canada Trail local, provincial, and territorial organizations.

Typical visits take place over four days and include a trail project assessment, an IMBA Trail Building School, a social night, and group ride. With more than 30 visits and events each year, we rely on local volunteers to help coordinate many of the details.
