A B.C. man has completed a decade-long 21,000-kilometre journey on Canada’s Great Trail.
After reaching Tuktoyaktuk, N.W.T. last week, Dana Meise became the first person to reach all three coasts on what was previously called the Trans Canada Trail.
The Prince George-raised man dreamed during childhood of becoming an explorer, and in 2008, set off from Newfoundland — inspired by his father's battle to walk again after suffering a brain aneurysm when Meise was 12 years old.
“It took him years to learn to walk again, then when he finally learned how to walk again he walked everywhere,” Meise told CTV. “It was his power, his thing.”
After his father had a stroke in 2006 and lost the ability to walk forever, he promised his dad he would “enough for the both of us.”
The Great Trail winds through every province and territory. Meise tackled it in six-to-eight month chunks while working in between. He came through the Okanagan in 2013, and was "thrilled" by the KVR.
“It was years and years and years and although I wasn’t walking, I didn’t go home,” he said. “I just walked, worked, walked, worked and just kept one foot in front of the other.
“I’m just a regular Canadian, anyone could have done what I’ve done.”
Meise joked that he was “a little fatigued” after his walk.
