Street to Trail (S2T) Information

Street to Trail (S2T) strives to decrease barriers for marginalized adults in Toronto by increasing their accessibility to nature. Through day hikes and multi-day camping excursions outside of the city, S2T enables participants to build self-confidence and community while receiving the physical and mental health benefits of nature. We use a partnership model, providing customized hikes to agencies working with adults experiencing homelessness and marginalization in Toronto, including Sistering, WoodGreen Community Services, Native Men’s Residence (Na-Me-Res), Houselink Community Homes, West Neighbourhood House, YWCA Toronto, Christie-Ossington Neighbourhood Centre and Homes First Society. We offer monthly hikes to each partner agency, totalling over 200 participants per year. We also offer accessible canoe and camping trips. Our program leaders are experts in both social community development and outdoor safety and stewardship.
