The Nova Scotia Chapter of the International Appalachian Trail's (SIA-IAT) goal is to raise the profile of this project, form community and regional committees, recruit volunteers and business partners, prepare trail guides and materials, and create a continuous walking trail route from the PEI ferry terminal in Caribou, NS to the Newfoundland ferry in North Sydney, NS.
The Nova Scotia Chapter of the SIA-IAT is a project of Hike Nova Scotia, a nonprofit society that encourages and promotes hiking, walking and snowshoeing throughout Nova Scotia.
