Trail Angel Program

Trail Angels

The Sydenham BTC is pleased to launch a volunteer-run service for hikers who would like a shuttle between the start and end points of a hike in our section of the Bruce Trail.

This service is for two or more hikers who would otherwise bring two vehicles to the trail to leave one at each end of the hike. With the help of a Trail Angel, the hikers can leave one of those vehicles at home, reducing their carbon footprint. Hikers who are starting their hike at a location where there is no parking available could also request a Trail Angel.

How to find a Trail Angel

Please fill out the form below to provide details about your hike. While every effort is made to accommodate all requests, there is no guarantee that a volunteer will be available. Send your request for a ride at least 1 to 2 weeks before your hike. A maximum of 4 hikers can be given a ride.

How to support Trail Angels and the Sydenham Club

Sydenham Trail Angels volunteer their time and gas with an expectation that their rider(s) will make a donation (for each shuttle) to the Sydenham Bruce Trail Club. Donations help us to maintain our section of the Trail.

Please make a donation at the Bruce Trail Conservancy site. https://brucetrail.org/donate-talisman/
Donations of $20 or more are eligible for a charitable contribution receipt, if requested. We will require a full name and mailing address (email is not sufficient).

If you are interested in being a volunteer for this program, or have any questions, please contact us at: sydenhamtrailangel@gmail.com
