East Don Trail Study - input sought
Since March 2013, fieldwork has been taking place in the study area. The project team was planning to have all work completed this spring, however with a long and snowy winter survey crews experienced some difficulty getting to the site. The goal now is to complete field work:
· topographical surveys and tree inventory in June; and
· geotechnical surveys later this year.
Within the study area you may continue to see temporary orange painted markings and/or stakes in the ground. These markings will remain in place until the design work for the study has been completed.
Before selecting a preferred trail alignment for the next round of public consultation, the project team addressed requests from different stakeholders for a review of additional trail alignments in:
Next Opportunity for Public Input June 24
Design concepts for the preferred trail alignment will be presented at the next public event on June 24, 2013.

Join us to learn more, speak with members of the project team, and be part of the conversation to select the best options for the preferred trail alignment.

- Area 2 (middle of study near the Gatineau Hydro Corridor and Flemingdon Park Golf Club).

Ontario Trail News - walking, cycling, biking, equestrian, mountain biking - news from all over Ontario's trails
We Value Our Members - Mr. Jack De Wit, OTC President
Dear Members - I often get questioned what are the benefits of an OTC Membership? Your financial support enables us to assist trail groups like: and many many more!
As you can see from the article and questions we are asking headed into the provincial election, we work to make sure there is a community appreciation of trails, and from the diagram below you can see how we do this on an ongoing basis.
On April 30th the OTC Board passed a Motion suggesting that all members write a letter of support to your MPP's and MP's. If you want a copy of the template just call 613-484-1140
As you can see your financial support may not return directly to your community, but with it, by keeping the OTC viable, we are able to preserve or develop trails somewhere in Ontario. And our members think we do this very well.
Sincerely, Jack De Wit, President.

Ontario Trails Council Website Refresh - some hints
On the new website we showcase over 1800 trails. Did you know you can now use the Nearby Function on each trail page to highlight trip planning options! The Nearby Function teels you what trails are nearby. That way if you are out for a couple of days you can explore trails, or trails near a town.
In this example you can find trails near Moonbeam Ontario, Use each of the icons to plan your trip accommodations, meals, transit to and from, or if you are in need of supplies you can find fixes for your tent, or your bike.
