Boots Across Canada

[+Nozzletime]

Last year the Bruce Trail and KEEN Canada launched the Boots on the Bruce program.

The program generated donations based on the number of people that snapped and submitted images of them on the Bruce Trail.

 

Bruce Trail enthusiasts posted over 11,000 Boots on the Bruce submissions and KEEN Canada gave the Bruce Trail $50,000 to help the us secure more Escarpment land.

 

Program Dates - May 1 - October 31, 2009

 

How to participate in the Boots Across Canada program

 

1. Enjoy some time on any Ontario trail.

This year the program is open to all trails, not just the Bruce Trail.

All trail submissions taken on an Ontario trail, will generate a donation for the Bruce Trail Conservancy.

 

2. Take a photo of your boots (or shoes!) on any Ontario trail.

 

3. Visit www.keencanada.ca and upload a photo.

 

4. For every pair of boots (shoes) taken on an Ontario trail, KEEN Canada will donate $5 to the Bruce trail. One picture with 1 pairs of boots (shoes)=$5 donation from KEEN.

One picture with 10 pairs of boots (shoes)=$50 donation from KEEN.

Sounds like a great and easy way to raise money!

Gee, I wonder if there are any caches on the trail

As a side note, it could make for a very worthwhile event! Many caches, many boots...

A maximum of $75,000.00 this year.

I would like to see the Bruce Trail get the largest share of that.

 

Get clicking!!
