"We don't stop hiking because we grow old, we grow old because we stop hiking."
— Finis Mitchell

Outdoor Clubs and Volunteer Trail Organizations are one of the few strong areas in the outdoor community. Inspite of Boom, Bust, and Echo most clubs remain stable or have grown over the last few years. It takes dedicated individual to make a club grow, but there are hundreds of hard working individuals right across the country making the outdoor clubs and trail organizations grow and prosper. Take the time to join your local outdoor club or volunteer trail organization. Your help can make a real difference to the continuation of outdoor recreation in Canada and the creation of excellent hiking trails across our country by the simple act of joining your local outdoor club.
