Pictou County Trails Association is a charitable organization based in Pictou, Nova Scotia, classified by the CRA under public amenities. It appears on the charity register the way hospitals, universities, and other publicly funded bodies do — to issue tax receipts — rather than as a donation-driven charity in the usual sense. In its fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, it reported $142K in revenue and $160K in expenditures. Spending exceeded revenue that year — the gap came out of reserves.
Its funding that year was roughly 47% from donations, 53% from government. Government funding is the majority of its budget. In 2024, 1 other registered charity reported granting it a combined $1,000.
Compared with 628 public-amenity institutions of similar size, its share of spending on mission — charitable programs plus grants to other charities — ranked above 74% of peers.
