Register for Atlantic Canada's Inaugural Trails Conference

Get ready, because Atlantic Canada is about to experience something special! The first-ever Trails Conference is happening from October 20 to 22, 2025, at the stunning Fisherman’s Landing Inn in Rocky Harbour, Gros Morne National Park. This event is not just a conference; it’s an opportunity for communities to harness the power of trails to boost their local economies, enhance sustainability, and strengthen connections to nature and culture.

Bringing together a diverse group of speakers, the conference will feature influential figures like Keith Henry, President & CEO of Indigenous Tourism of Canada, as well as local community members and business owners, such as our very own Ian Colbourne of West Coast Cycling Association and Steve Wheeler of Gros Morne Outdoor Co. These speakers, will present valuable insights on how trails can drive community development and promote environmental responsibility.

Whether you’re part of a trail-building organization, municipality, or community group, this conference is your opportunity to gain insights, build partnerships, and be part of shaping the future of trail development as an economic driver.
