Ontario's Trails Are Rural Recreation in 85% of Ontario. Patrick Connor Writes - "I'm Proud to be a Board Member with Kim Goodman on this initiative." https://www.facebook.com/ruralrecreationassociation/     OTC President’s Corner  March 2026 As many of us now say, “It’s been a minute” since we last connected and so it has. As a Canadian it would be strange of me not to inject something about the weather – so however you experienced winter in Ontario this season, I’m hoping you found a way to enjoy it outdoors on a trail! Spring is near and we all can feel the sun’s warmth again. It is beginning to feel like a new day in more ways than a seasonal change. I’ll give you a simple example. Since the summer of 2000, the Ontario Trails Council (OTC) and the Trans Canada Trail (TCT) decided it was in their best interest to each take a different “fork in the trail”. The trail each agency followed diverged but were never out of sight and often not out of step with each other’s forward direction. Time passed, trail leaders moved on, history faded and those two forks in the trail, found their way back to a single, more established pathway. If you heard it from someone else, this should help make it clear: the Ontario Trails Council is once again working with the Trans Canada Trail on trail related challenges to find solutions and improve trail operations and the user experience here in Ontario. We need each other – we always have. Starting this week, the OTC is engaging with local trail champions in Durham Region, near Uxbridge – Trails Capital of Canada to knit together a solution that will stabilize the management of the Beaver River Wetland Trail – a 22km TCT section, in collaboration and with the support of the Trans Canada Trail. As an OTC member, trail manager and/or trail enthusiast you may have questions about what changed? What took you so long? How do we tap into this kind of OTC/TCT assistance? What I can tell you here is that this renewed arrangement was long in the making, fostered by many over many years and I’d be happy to share more about how it came to be in several ways. First, I’d like to thank Patrick Connor (OTC Executive Director) and Kim Goodman (OTC Board Member) for their resilience, openness and aim to support this renewed relationship with the Trans Canada Trail team. Now as for the options to connect and learn more see below: Option 1: reach out and email me president@ontariotrails.ca. If my inbox is overwhelmed by your questions, that’ll be a happy problem because we’ll get to meet each other. Option 2: reach out to Patrick Connor (Executive Director) and ask about membership renewal, assistance and support – he’d love to get in touch. execdir@ontariotrails.ca Option 3: Consider attending the Canadian Trail Summit in Winnipeg June 16-19 https://canadiantrailsummit.ca/ being hosted by Trans Canada Trail. This is a great chance to catch up, connect, talk trail challenges and solutions. Also, The Forks in Winnipeg is an iconic destination in Canada, especially in June – not to be missed.   Can’t make the Summit but would still like to support it? We have an OTC GoFundMe account set up below, the aim is to use the funds raised to offset the costs of 10 Ontario attendees to the conference. We’d love the support, but even better is to have 10 reps from Ontario attend and bring back the learning here.   Safe, accessible and enjoyable trails to all of you, Dan   Ontario Parks Ontario Parks part of the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, has released the Background Information Document to support developing a management plan for Monarch Point Conservation Reserve.   Please see the attached notice for more information.   The document and supporting material are available on the Environmental Registry of Ontario at ero.ontario.ca under bulletin 025-0959.   __________________________________________________________   Southeast Zone – Ontario Parks 300 Water Street, 4th Floor N, Peterborough, Ontario, K9J 3C7 W: OntarioParks.com Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks

Marten Falls Community Access Road Project - Recreational Trail Impacts? Marten Falls First Nation is proposing the construction and operation, including maintenance, of an all-season multi-use community access road approximately 190 to 230 kilometres in length, connecting the northern end of Painter Lake forestry road to the community of Marten Falls. Marten Falls is located at the junction of the Albany and Ogoki rivers, approximately 170 kilometres northeast of Nakina, Ontario. As proposed, the Marten Falls Community Access Road Project could enable future access to potential mineral development activities in the Ring of Fire area.   Message from Chief Bruce Achneepineskum The Community Access Road is more than infrastructure; it is a symbol of resilience and hope. It stands as a testament to our determination to overcome barriers and build a brighter future for our children and grandchildren. For Marten Falls members, this road means new possibilities—access to economic development that can: create collective partnerships in the region; bring jobs and prosperity, and provide reliable routes for healthy foods and food security, and improved access to social programs and services that support our families. The Community Access Road represents the promise of a community where every member can thrive, where traditions are honored, and where the next generation can look forward to a life filled with opportunity. We invite all First Nations and the public to recognize the profound importance of this project and support its timely completion.   Final Environmental Assessment / Impact Assessment and Review Period The Final Environmental Assessment / Impact Statement was released on February 20, 2026. Anyone wishing to provide comments on the Final Environmental Assessment / Impact Statement must submit them by April 10, 2026.

By bridging the Guelph-area’s final gap in the G2G Rail Trail, users will for the first time be able to seamlessly and more safely experience the full breadth of the 132-kilometre G2G Rail Trail, providing significant benefits to the recreational community and the Guelph tourism economy. The proposed new 2.7-kilometre trail is situated along the City-owned Guelph Junction Railway (GJR) right of way between the recently-completed GJR Multi-Use Trail at Woodlawn Road and the G2G Rail Trail trailhead on Silvercreek Parkway North at Marden. Currently, the only way for trail users to continue their journeys between Guelph and Marden is to travel on the narrow shoulder of Silvercreek Parkway North, sharing space with cars and trucks on this heavily trafficked roadway. Project Information: Diligence continues on numerous fronts, including the completion of a topographical survey, a preliminary trail design, an independent rail safety audit and intensive engagement with numerous stakeholders. Creating a safe, environmentally sound, and cost-effective overall design that is acceptable to all stakeholders is the priority before moving to construction. The aspirational goal of this community-led, city-supported project is to complete the G2G Rail Trail Guelph Trailway Connection in time for the Guelph and Goderich bicentennial celebrations in 2027.
