The Trust is fortunate to have partners who contribute not only funding but also time, knowledge and ideas to our work. We are grateful to all our
donors, volunteers and sponsors for their active support.

Since 1996 the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce – CIBC, our founding partner, has provided $1.25 million to support the completion, enhancement and promotion of Ontario's Waterfront Trail.


		The Ontario Trillium Foundation, an agency of the Government of Ontario generously provided $200,000 to support a partner-wide strategic planning process. In 2008, the OTF provided the Waterfront Regeneration Trust with a three-year, $210,000 grant to help launch the Great Waterfront Trail Adventure.

		The Great Waterfront Trail Adventure is proud to be assisted by the CAA and their Mobile Bike Assist program. The CAA will be providing support with shuttles in the 2012 GWTA and in offering the Mobile Bike Shop.

The Ministry also supported the promotion of the 2008 Great Waterfront Trail Adventure.In 2010 the Ministry of Tourism funded work by the WRT to work with communities along Lake Erie and Carolinian Canada Coalition to create the Waterfront Trail along Lake Erie and the Erie Coastal Stewardship Eco Trail.

Their facilities include parks, attractions along the St. Lawrence Heritage Corridor including Fort Henry, Upper Canada Village, Long Sault Parkway and 1000 Islands Parkway. Manage several excellent campgrounds along the route. In 2005 the St. Lawrence Parks joined the Waterfront partnership and designated the St. Lawrence recreational trail as Waterfront Trail.
