Are you hiking some or all of the GDT this summer? The GDTA is looking for a handful of hikers to be volunteer Trail Ambassadors this year. Share your love of this amazing Canadian treasure, and help out the GDTA while you enjoy your hike.
What does an Ambassador do?
- – Spread awareness of the GDT (and the GDTA) to people you meet
- – Share photos of your hike with the GDTA
- – Share information about the trail conditions you encounter
The GDTA will make sure you have some stickers to hand out, and we’ll provide a little bit of hiker-appropriate merch (you can leave it at home if you’re counting grams!)
Requirements
Anyone that’s hiking any amount of the GDT can apply to be a Trail Ambassador. All we ask is that you:
- – Promise to keep to obey all park regulations
- – Promise to have the correct permits for all nights on trail and to keep to your permits
- – Practice meticulous Leave-no-Trace principles
- – Be willing to talk up how great the GDT is to anyone you meet
Priority may be given to people that have hiked parts of the GDT before.
How to apply
Email: [email protected] to express interest or to find out more. When you do, please let us know:
- – What section(s) of the GDT you’re hiking
- – When you’ll be hiking
- – That you have any necessary permits
- – If you have any experience hiking parts of the GDT already
