Call for Board Members – 2026
Backpackers, hikers, trail maintainers, map nerds, campfire storytellers: if you love the Great Divide Trail, this is for you.
- Do you want to help shape the future of an iconic Canadian wilderness trail?
- Do you want a front row seat into the inner workings of the GDTA and trail development?
- Can you spare 6–10 hours a month?
If you answered yes, we’d love to hear from you.
The GDTA is looking for people who care about this trail and want to help steer the organization forward. You do not need to check every box or have extensive experience in any particular area. We’re an approachable group of people who value new perspectives and idea and everyone brings something different, whether that’s formal experience in charity governance, boots-on-the-ground hiking experience, or a skillset you’ve developed through work/hobbies that can apply to the huge variety of work we do.
Enthusiasm, good judgment, and a willingness to show up and contribute are the most important qualities. We would love to connect with you!
What the Board Does
The GDTA is a registered charity, and the Board is accountable for making sure the Association is run in line with the law and our members’ wishes. As a group, the Board:
- Keeps an eye on GDTA’s finances and performance
- Sets strategic direction aligned with our Mission, Vision, and Values
- Oversees risk management
- Works on improving how the Board itself functions
- Champions the Association and its members, and supports our Executive Director & staff.
What this really means:
Each month we have a virtual board meeting, which starts off with representatives from each committee providing updates on everything going – which is our favourite part (trail maintenance, fundraising, events, outreach, policy reviews, etc.) We review year-to-date financials (our Treasurer makes it easy to understand!), and discuss any other topics that board members add to the agenda (progress towards strategic goals, proposals for improving our operations, upcoming projects, etc.)
What We’d Love to See (No Need to Check Every Box)
Experience or a strong interest in any of the following is welcome. Nobody is expected to bring all of it, and if you have experience in a different area entirely that you’re excited to contribute, let’s connect!
- Prior involvement with the Great Divide Trail Association is a great place to start (Have you done trail maintenance? Volunteered at our events or on a committee?)
- Interest or experience in fundraising, familiarity with grant-writing
- Financial management/budgeting
- Legal & governance
- Strategic planning
- Indigenous relations
- Event-planning, community building
- Policy, HR, operations
- Hiking or thru-hiking experience
This round, we’re also looking for a new Board Secretary
Our amazing current Board Secretary has served their term but is committed to fully training their successor and supporting a smooth handover — so you won’t be figuring it out alone. If you like taking notes, staying organized, and the odd filing of paperwork, this could be a perfect role for you!
What We Ask of Individual Board Members
- Help create a positive, open culture
- Follow GDTA’s bylaws, policies, and procedures
- Attend monthly Board meetings by virtual conference (3rd Tuesday, 7–9 pm MST)
- Sit on one of GDTA’s 7 committees, or a working group for specific projects
- Make decisions with the Association’s best interests in mind
- Share your ideas and perspectives, and speak up during discussions
Term: Three (3) years, 6–10 hrs/month
Compensation: None — this is a volunteer position, but it’s a meaningful way to give back to a trail you love.
How to Apply
We’re accepting applications until August 31, 2026.
Send an email to agm@greatdividetrail.com, attention: Nomination Committee, and tell us:
- What interests you about joining the board
- Any GDTA volunteer experience you have, and/or experience in the relevant areas listed above
- Anything else that makes you a good fit
The Nomination Committee will reach out to you to set up a brief meeting to get to know you further, and will present qualified candidates to the membership ahead of the AGM. The membership will vote for board members at the AGM on September 28, 2026.
Not Ready for a Board Role? There Are Other Ways to Help
If a Board position isn’t the right fit but you’d still like to get involved, there are lots of ways to help, including remotely and outside of peak hiking season. Even a few hours can make a real difference.
Whether you’ve hiked every inch of the GDT or you just care about protecting the wild spaces it runs through, we’d love to hear from you and explore where your passion aligns with our work so you can have fun while giving back.

Great Divide Trail Mural Unveiled in Coleman
On June 14, 2026, we unveiled the stunning Great Divide Trail mural, created by artist Lynnie Wonfor in Coleman, Alberta, during our inaugural Trail Days Celebration.
This project, led by GDTA volunteer Tara Fleming, was a year and a half in the making. It all began with a simple question from Alyssa and Seb, owners of Kindred Ground Coffee and Yoga House: “Would the GDT like to put a mural on our building?” The answer was an emphatic yes.
Soon after, the process began: obtaining permits from the municipality, securing funding through South Canadian Rockies Tourism, and searching for the perfect artist and concept to bring the mural to life. We received many incredible submissions, but one stood above the rest; one that truly captured the essence of the Great Divide Trail: Lynnie Wonfor’s depiction of Tornado Mountain.
Having hiked the Great Divide Trail herself, Lynnie has an intimate understanding of what it feels like to be out on the trail and of both the challenge and reward of crossing Tornado Mountain.
Artist’s Statement
“Tornado Mountain, one of the icons of the Great Divide Trail, is the perfect example of how the trail can gift us an accomplishment that proves something to ourselves and lasts a lifetime. The longer you hike it—and even long after the hike is over—the more it continues to give. The GDT changed my life forever.”
-Lynnie Wonfor
We couldn’t be happier with the final piece.
While Tornado Mountain may not be as well known locally as Crowsnest Mountain, it holds a special place in the history and identity of the Great Divide Trail. In fact, it is the mountain featured in the GDT logo, making it a fitting subject for this mural.
There are many people to thank for helping make this project a reality. To artist Lynnie Wonfor, thank you for creating this spectacular piece. To South Canadian Rockies Tourism, thank you for helping fund the project. To Seb and Alyssa at Kindred Ground Coffee and Yoga House, thank you for providing the canvas, obtaining permits, and preparing the building for installation. And finally, thank you to GDTA volunteer Tara Fleming for taking the lead and guiding this project from concept to completion.
We are thrilled to share this mural with the community and with all who walk the Great Divide Trail.

The Blaeberry Cable Car Is Open!
After five years of planning, collaboration, fundraising, and an incredible amount of volunteer effort, we are more than excited to announce that the Blaeberry Cable Car is complete and officially open for hiker use, just in time for the 2026 Great Divide Trail hiking season.
Located in the middle of Section D of the Great Divide Trail, the new cable car provides a safe and reliable crossing of the Blaeberry River, replacing the temporary log bridge that had served hikers in recent years. What began as a proposal for a permanent aluminum bridge evolved into the Great Divide Trail’s first cable car aerial ferry, creating a unique and memorable experience while dramatically improving safety. The new cable car also enables a major enhancement to the hiker experience in the Blaeberry Valley, by eventually allowing the Collie Creek Alternate to become the official route of the GDT, replacing a tedious 14-km road walk with a scenic forested footpath that’s now usable by all hikers.
The first official Great Divide Trail hiker to use the new crossing was Mark Donald, who rode the cable car on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, making for an exciting moment!
Projects like this are never accomplished by one organization alone, and this one is no exception.
First and foremost, we extend thanks to Recreation Sites & Trails BC for working alongside the GDTA, helping solve challenges, navigate approvals, and ultimately bring this ambitious vision to life.
We also thank BC Parks for donating the cable car towers and cart. This contribution made the project possible and provided the foundation for what has become one of the most unique pieces of backcountry infrastructure on the Great Divide Trail.
A very special thank you goes to Brendan Harvey of Upslope Millwright & Rigging. Brendan’s expertise, ingenuity, and countless hours of work were absolutely essential to the successful completion of the cable car. Without his knowledge, skills, and commitment, this project could not have been completed.
We are also incredibly grateful to the Columbia Basin Trust for believing in this project from the beginning. Their financial support, and their willingness to stay with us as the project evolved over several years, helped carry this vision through to completion.
This project was also made possible through the generosity of our supporters. Thank you to every individual who contributed, whether through direct donations or by supporting our Trail Supporter campaign with the Blaeberry Crossing in mind. Every contribution helped move this project forward.
We would like to recognize one remarkable act of generosity. An anonymous donor stepped forward with an extraordinary $60,000 donation, providing the final funding needed to bring the project across the finish line. We are profoundly grateful for this incredible gift and the confidence it demonstrates in the future of the Great Divide Trail.
Last but certainly not least, we extend our deepest appreciation to the many GDTA volunteers who made this project possible. In particular, we want to recognize our trip leaders Dave Higgins and Stuart Mitchell, who dedicated an incredible amount of time, energy, skill, and effort, not to mention years, to bringing this project to life. From planning and organizing work trips to hauling materials, solving challenges in the field, and putting in countless hours of hard work in a remote and demanding environment, their commitment was truly extraordinary. This project is a reflection of the passion and dedication of our volunteer community, and we cannot thank them enough for everything they have contributed.
The completion of the Blaeberry Cable Car is much more than the installation of a new river crossing. It is a testament to what can be achieved when government agencies, community partners, skilled professionals, volunteers, donors, and trail supporters work together toward a common goal.
To everyone who contributed your time, expertise, funding, equipment, or encouragement over the past four years, thank you.
We look forward to welcoming hikers to experience the Blaeberry Cable Car throughout the 2026 hiking season and for many years to come.
Happy hiking!

Success of the Servus Calgary Marathon Green Bib Program
A second year of success at the Servus Calgary Marathon!
The Green Bib Program once again saw strong support in 2026, with 614 participants choosing the sustainable race option. Their participation resulted in a $6,140 donation to the Great Divide Trail Association (GDTA).
Introduced in 2025, the Green Bib Program gives runners the option to forgo a race shirt and finisher medal while still receiving a chipped race bib and enjoying the full race-day experience. For every Green Bib selected, the Servus Calgary Marathon donates $10 to the GDTA.
The Green Bib Program is part of the Servus Calgary Marathon’s broader Sustainability Program, sponsored by the wonderful team at Fluid Projects. The program includes compostable cups at aid stations, recycling and composting initiatives, food and clothing donations, paperless race communications, transit and cycling incentives, water refill stations, and ongoing efforts to reduce excess race merchandise. Since 2017, the event has reduced leftover shirts and medals by more than 75%.
Together, these initiatives help make the Servus Calgary Marathon a more environmentally responsible event while giving participants meaningful ways to reduce their race-day footprint.
We at the Great Divide Trail Association are incredibly grateful to the Servus Calgary Marathon for choosing our charity as the recipient of the Green Bib donation. This partnership not only supports the protection and maintenance of Canada’s premier long-distance hiking trail, but also demonstrates how the running and outdoor communities can work together to create a positive impact.

Members: Have your Say for the Fall AGM
Members! Hiking season is finally back again, and our attention is certainly focused on the hikers about to set out on the GDT this year. But the board is also looking to get a jump-start on planning for the Fall Annual General Meeting.
Save the Date: Monday, September 28, 2026; online*
(registration details will go out soon after the hiking season)
As a registered Canadian charitable organization, the GDTA has a legal obligation to present members our financials and have them vote to approve them. This has traditionally been done in September each year and has also been the venue used to provide updates on the year’s activities and vote for new board members.
We want to hear your thoughts:
- what do you want to hear about at the AGM?
- are there people you think deserve recognition this year?
- are there updates you’ve been hoping to hear more on?
- are there issues you want to make sure are on the board’s radar?
- what would make the AGM more useful for you as a member?
Email your thoughts to: agm@greatdividetrail.com – We’ll do our best to address the comments we receive during the AGM.
Sincerely,
Your Board of Directors
* Note: The AGM moved virtually a few years back due to planning, costs, and technical challenges of hosting in person so close to the end of the hiking season. Furthermore, our membership extends well beyond a single region, so hosting virtually provides equal access to the material. But have no fear, the board appreciates the value of in-Person get togethers, which is why you saw a good number of meetups last year. We’ll be doing the same again this year
