Our Story
Sentiers Wakefield Trails is a not-for-profit organization that ensures safe and enjoyable trails year round through regular and proactive maintenance in Wakefield and surrounds. |
Initially launched as Wakefield Ensemble, this non-profit organization became focused solely on trails in 2005 to address the Government of Quebec’s mandate of active transportation. |
Sentiers Wakefield Trails maintains and supervises the Trans Canada Trail in the Municipality of La Pêche, including 15 KMs in the Gatineau Park. |
