Eastern Tip Trails Association is a charitable organization based in Canso, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under public amenities.

In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, it reported $19K in revenue and $41K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 93% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2022, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $741.
