The Trail is a community based initiative and to make certain that the Trail is planned and built according to local needs, a Trans Canada Trail Council has been established in each province and territory. These councils are working with community groups to plan and co-ordinate the route, link existing trails together by new construction and ensure the continuing maintenance of the Trail. At the same time it provides opportunities to artists through royalties from the sale of their works, increased exposure and both national and international distribution of their art. Please support these Trans Canada Trail initiatives. From the Group of Seven to the art of the First Nations, our vast and diverse landscape has played an integral role in the uniquely Canadian arts movement.
Artists continue to be inspired by the vision of the Trail.
The B.C. Archives have also allowed two Emily Carr images to be printed in support of the Trail. We are currently building partnerships in other provinces to manage the project at provincial levels. We will be working with artists from across the country and distributing the art products across Canada and internationally through galleries, trails groups, and our existing national distribution network. We want Canadians to share their visions of the nation.
