The
Canadian Volkssport Federation (CVF) serves to
unify volkssport clubs across Canada and to promote their
mutual
cooperation. We are a non-profit
organization dedicated to promoting healthy, non-competitive volkssport
activities for people of all ages throughout the country. Although
volkssporting activities include walking, swimming, cross-country
skiing and cycling, walking events are the most popular among
volkssporters in Canada.

There are over 30 clubs in Canada,
offering a wide variety of walks. Walks include
parks, forests,
urban streets and trails, mountains and glorious lake and ocean views.
We invite walkers of all ages to join us on a walk.
In addition to walking activities, volkssport
offers many opportunities
for discovery, volunteering and social activities. Explore this website
to learn more about volkssporting in Canada and to find a walking club
near you.
Greetings from David
Hall, CVF President
Welcome! If you are looking for
information on walking in
Canada, you’re at the right place. The Canadian Volkssport Federation
(CVF) is
a national organization that promotes walking in Canada. We have been
part of
the international Volkssport movement for over 30 years. If you are
looking for
walk routes near you, or interested in joining a walking club, you will
find
all that information here.
Like everyone else, we
have had a
chaotic 2020 with so many cancelled group walks and events and so many
ever-changing rules. I am looking forward to 2021 when, once most
of us
have received the vaccine and the restrictions have eased, clubs may be
able to
continue with their planned events. Keep watching this website and that
of your
local club for information as things evolve.
I am proud to be President of this fun and exciting
organization.
My 15 years of walking with Volkssport has given me the opportunity to
walk all
10 provinces, 50 USA States and many EU countries. This would not have
happened
if I hadn’t joined a Volkssport club!
Feel free to contact me if you don’t
find the answers on our
website.
