A group of Paralympians are on the path to making the Great Trail of Canada more accessible through a partnership that's helping break down barriers for those with mobility issues. Together they mapped out 13 sections of the Great Trail, formerly the Trans Canada Trail, across the country, looking for barriers that existed and also noting areas that already had good accessibility. Eleanor McMahon, president and CEO of Trans Canada Trail said her team, which is funded by Parks Canada, is currently "sifting" through the findings. The Great Trail spans 27,000 kilometres across Canada. (Submitted by Canadian Paralympic Committee, photo by Alexa Fernando)"I hope it's just more autonomy and more awareness.
