Ontario Trails - Ski, Sled, Hike, Bike or Paddle Ontario's Trails

Launch of the 2012–13 Enabling Change Program

We are pleased to launch the 2012–13 EnAbling Change Program. We are looking for non-profit organizations that want to be leaders in accessibility.

The EnAbling Change Program is an initiative of the Accessibility Directorate of Ontario (ADO) that provides financial support and expertise to organizations to educate an industry or sector across the province on its obligations under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).

The program funds large-scale projects that have an impact across the province. Occasionally, the program funds projects that meet additional goals such as developing innovative approaches to increasing accessibility that directly or indirectly supports compliance with the AODA or awareness raising projects that focus on Ontario’s children and youth.

We ask that you submit your project idea by completing the Expression of Interest provided on our website at:

English: www.mcss.gov.on.ca/en/mcss/programs/accessibility/partnerships/EnablingChange/how_apply.aspx
French: www.mcss.gov.on.ca/fr/mcss/programs/accessibility/partnerships/EnablingChange/how_apply.aspx

The deadline to submit your Expression of Interest is Friday, February 17, 2012.

The Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network (www.fabr.ca) is devoted to building a sustainable and prosperous life within the Biosphere. Among its many other initiatives, it sponsors the Biosphere Trail Council. 

We invite you to fill out an electronic survey for both trails users, trails groups and trails organizations. The Council has decided to develop a vision and strategy for trails within the Biosphere. We need to build on the great work that has been over the many decades past by trail enthusiasts. We need to see where else, and in what form we need more trails. Please complete this survey at:http://app.fluidsurveys.com/surveys/anna-r/biosphere-trails-council-survey/. Please! Complete this survey by February 3, 2012!
