GVTA thanks the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, Kitchener-Waterloo Branch, for its generous grant to fund the printing cost of the GVTA Guidebook, 6th Edition. Proceeds from the sale of the guidebook are earmarked for trail maintenance costs such as the purchase of pressure treated lumber for pedestrian footbridges along the trail. The labour necessary for the planning and construction of such footbridges is provided by volunteers. GVTA has several community supporters throughout four counties. Check them out here.
