The Great Canadian Trail Challenge  - Host an Event Nearest You

The One Health Initiative is bringing together Canadians through two of Canada's most precious natural resources - the human-animal bond and trails across Canada so as to:
  • Connect people, pets (companion animals) and partners (service animals) from coast-to-coast to promote our charitable programs and activities  
  • Promote the benefits of the human-animal bond and the value they bring to our communities
  • Overcome the stigma associated with mental health issues by promoting relationships with companion animals and partnerships with service animals that enable people to live better lives  
  • Build the capacity of Canadian Animal-Assisted Support Services charities across the country that serve persons of all ages with visible and invisible disabilities, Canada’s troops, veterans, first responders, and their families
  • Assist with the care of animals in service and companion animals owned by people/families with low incomes, people who are homeless, and seniors on fixed meager incomes
  • Preserve Canadians human-animal bond stories for generations to come as our gift to Canada on its 150th birthday
  • Host year-round events to unite and engage Canadians to promote active living and safety and fun around animals
  • Raise 20 million dollars by 2020 to launch the National Annual Grants Program
Each trail event will contribute toward this vision thanks to community partners and trail participants.

Our One Health Active Living Patron

My name is Kevin Frost. I was born in Victoria, B.C. on June 16th 1967. In 1972 I moved to Ottawa with my family enrolling in Blackburn Public and Emily Carr. It was during these years that my deafness was discovered, grade six to be exact. I only had 25% of my hearing. I then went to Gloucester High School and successfully graduated in 1986.

My deafness did not stop me from being active in my community. I had a paper route for 8 years during school years then straight into full time work after graduation in a large grocery chain store for 16 years. I loved sports especially hockey, so much so that at the age of 10 I began refereeing. Read more...
Kevin Frost and his new new guide dog Lewis had a great training experience when they were brought together in 2013. Lewis is a great match for me, says Kevin, because he’s just as goofy as I am. We will learn to work together as time goes by. View Kevin's Awards...

Learn to Play - Safety and Fun Around Animals

Please note that companion and service animals, in many instances will not be physically on the trails. The concept is to connect people who share an interest in pets (companion animals) and partners (service animals|) in order to build awareness about and to support  Animal-Assisted Support Services. 

People that attend walking events may bring their dogs and lap animals so long as the they are kept on leash at all times, harnessed, contained, and/or muzzled as appropriate. Please keep a safe distance between other people with their pets to ensure safety and fun during events. Always ask event participants permission to approach their animals before doing so. 

Only specific trails permit horses, therefore, please read event posters carefully to note the types of activities that will be available. Events can be held winter, spring, summer, and fall wherever and whenever possible.  

Your cooperation and understanding is appreciated.
