About the Waterfront Regeneration Trust

Our goal is to make sure people can get to the water; and that the water is worth getting to.

Since the establishment of the Waterfront Regeneration Trust in 1992, we and our community partners have worked
diligently to:

• Expand and enhance the Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail and Greenway as part of a larger strategy to regenerate the waterfront; and
• Promote the Waterfront Trail and Greenway as a way to achieve a healthy environment and lifestyle.

History:

July, 2008 was the inaugural year of the Great Waterfront Trail Adventure, the first end-to-end tour of the Trail that is welcoming the public.  In 2002, partners of the trail, including journalist Kate Harries, rode the length of the route and documented their journey in a series of articles that appeared in the Toronto Star.

We had so much fun, as have other end-to-enders who have done their own tours that we want to share the experience with as many people as we can.  There is a true sense of pride and accomplishment in traveling along the entire 730 kms of the Waterfront Trail, plus it provides a unique experience of southern Ontario.  Gather your friends and join us for this fun adventure from July 14-21, 2012.
