Council will consider contributing to the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance (EOTA) Deer Creek Bridge construction project through in-kind donations of equipment and supplies.
EOTA manager Cindy Cassidy was joined by Andy Vanecko and Duane Foley of the Centre Hastings Snowmobile Club as she presented background information on the organization and about the project to council.
Cassidy said the trail system is growing and users are contributing to the local economy by buying gas and food, and staying in motels. The 13-year old organization supports tourism and economic development in Eastern Ontario through the multi-use trail system and has contributed to local job creation through its projects.
The EOTA received $126,000 in Recreational Infrastructure Canada (RInC) funding for the $190,000 bridge project which is also being supported by other groups, including Hastings County, the snowmobile club and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs.
The Ontario Trails Council is a registered charity, led by volunteers who promote the development, management, use and conservation of Ontario's trails. You'll find everything from gentle walking trails to rock faces for climbing and water routes to canoe and kayak.
