This morning the Trans Canada Trail announced that, in celebration of Trans Canada Trail’s 30th anniversary, Canadians are invited to follow this year’s Niagara 2022 Canada Summer Games Torch Relay along the Trans Canada Trail. Beginning Monday June 6, in Ottawa with the traditional torch-lighting ceremony at the Centennial Flame, the relay will follow the Trans Canada Trail in Quebec, with stops in Wakefield, Messines, Mont-Laurier, Mont-Tremblant, Saint-Faustin-Lac-Carré, Saint-Jérôme and Terrebonne, before arriving in Montreal on Wednesday June 15.
This exciting occasion will be an opportunity for many Canadians to connect with one another and the outdoors, while discovering the longest recreational trail in the world, spanning over 28,000 kilometres on land and water.
In partnership with Canada Steamship Lines, the presenting sponsor of Niagara 2022’s Torch Relay program, the Torch will then embark a CSL ship and travel by water on the St. Lawrence River to Niagara.
