"The work the CRCA has done this year to maintain the trails should be complimented and rewarded. It is indeed quite dismaying to read that CRCA has been pushed to reduce the budget for maintenance for the coming year. CRCA has one the best cross-country trails in Ontario, and we the skiing/taxpaying public would very much encourage you to go forward in enhancing our Kingston-area gem.
Any reduction in maintenance for grooming and brush cutting will increase the likelihood of possible liability and, of course, a concerning lack of respect for what has become a valuable component of Kingston's winter activities.
I previously wrote to the authority this winter about the cross-country ski trails, and now would encourage the CRCA to not cut back funding in this year and would ask the city to support that and restore the $4,000 in funding.
