Eleanor McMahon
President & CEO, Trans Canada Trail
Eleanor has over 30 years’ experience in the private, public and non-profit sectors. Energetic, decisive and people-focused, she leads a nationwide team responsible for building, maintaining and stewarding the world’s longest trail network.
She has held leadership positions in a variety of federal government roles, and was MPP for Burlington, Ontario, from 2014 to 2018, serving as Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, and President of the Treasury Board.
In memory of her husband, who was killed in a tragic cycling collision, she founded Share the Road, a cycling advocacy and public policy organization working to lobby for road safety reform and a bicycle-friendly Ontario. She was instrumental in updating Ontario’s bicycle policy to protect cyclists on shared roadways.
Eleanor believes that the Trans Canada Trail helps us connect with nature and one another while enhancing well-being through time spent outdoors, and is inspired by the many ways the Trail reflects the diversity and beauty of Canada.
