Take "The Safe Trail User" PledgeRecently OTC studied trail risk management, attended the Orangeville Horse Meeting and have had an ongoing confrontation with activity groups about their perception of our work towards collaboration between activities.
This, in fact, has been one of the core issues OTC has been tasked to deal with since its inception. In support, we are asking user groups and individuals to take

Update to the Horse Trails Meeting June 16th, 2014.
Brant County Launches "Give me A Brake" Campaign
Brant, in partnership with the OPP, has launched the “Give Us a Brake” campaign to help remind motorists to slow down.
“The County of Brant is asking people to slow down, watch for pedestrians and share the road with cyclists,” said Mayor Ron Eddy.
The “Give Us a Brake” campaign was launched after concerned citizens from Harley and Kelvin came forward about the speeding vehicles travelling through their communities.
“Give Us a Brake” signs are now posted at the outskirts of Harley and Kelvin and additional signs will be posted in various other communities throughout the County. So far, the signs are proving to be effective. OPP Acting Detachment Commander, Jim Millson said, “As a result of this County-led traffic safety initiative, residents and County officials, alike, have noticed an overall reduction in motorist speed in the area.”
The County and OPP will continue to work together to slow down motorists. The OPP are stepping up enforcement efforts and the County is exploring various other initiatives from road painting techniques to additional signage to make the roads safer.
“Let’s slow down, enjoy the beautiful country-side and make sure everyone has a safe summer,” said Mayor Ron Eddy.
