On June 20, the G2G Rail Trail launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise money through the community the trail travels through.
The group’s teaser video on Facebook has reached 29,000 views being shared 1,392 times to help start spreading the word about the campaign.
Each trail segment and community can benefit directly from this $150,000 fundraising campaign. The 127 km route is made up of the Kissing Bridge Trailway, Perth Harvest Pathway and the Lake Huron Route.
The Guelph to Goderich Rail Trail surrounds cyclists and hikers with the richness of Ontario’s pastoral landscape and rural heritage.
Completion of the G2G Rail Trail opens Ontario’s pastoral heartland to the global fitness and recreation phenomena of backpacking and cycle tourism. The G2G helps rural Ontarians share their countryside and hospitality with the world.
