Thunder Bay Waterfront Trail
The Waterfront Trail Rotary Community Action Team — WTRCAT — is made of local groups and organizations working together to advocate, promote, and support a recreational, multi-use trail along Lake Superior’s spectacular shore and beyond.
We believe in the power of a waterfront trail.
Embrace the journey with us.
The Waterfront Trail Rotary Community Action Team believes in a park-to-park-to-park trail that stretches across Thunder Bay’s waterfront from Fisherman’s Park at the mouth of the Current River, across the Kaministiquia River delta islands, to Fort William First Nation and Chippewa Park, and all the way to Fort William Historical Park where a water-based 1,000+ km section of the Trans Canada Trail begins. With municipal, federal and provincial support, coupled with collaboration among service clubs like Port Arthur Rotary, community groups, businesses, industries, and individuals, Thunder Bay can join many great cities of the world who prove that waterfront development and trails are a catalyst for regeneration, revitalization, and a stepping stone to something bigger.
Land Acknowledgement
For many thousands of years, First Nations people have lived on the northern shores of Lake Superior. This land is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, including the Ojibway of Fort William First Nation and the Métis of Ontario – people who strive to live in harmony with the natural world and all it contains. With respect, we work to build a trail on Robinson-Superior Treaty land that will remember the long history of this waterfront and create a special place where we can nurture physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being for all.
Get Involved
WTRCAT gives interested and willing community members a place to add their voices, provide important feedback, volunteer time and skills, and help with financial support.
