Rainbow Routes Supports Call for Support
We appreciate Rainbow Routes supporting our call for stable government support funding for OTC. We now have over 200 members, and trails are growing. Even when we solve the 51 challenges in the Ontario Trails Strategy, there will be operational, maintenance and
emerging products to be communicated and managed in the sector. If you would like a copy of the template to send to the government give us a call. 613-396-3226.
Ontario boasts over 80,000 km in trails. Whether you're in downtown Toronto or North of Superior, we have a trail for you. 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.

Ontario Trail News - about trail membership, trail services and snowmobling on Ontario Trails!
Ontario Trail Memberships - Annual Drive on Now
Once again its that time of year where we send out our membership invoices. We have made a modification for 2014.
Once again its that time of year where we send out our membership invoices. We have made a modification for 2014.
- Many groups have verbally committed to OTC for membership in 2013. If you did we are sending you an invoice that reflects this outstanding commitment.
- Invoices are net 30, so we are sending earlier to avoid staff departure for the holidays, so they can be processed.
Recently we read an appeal by the Appalachian Trail to the community to help make its budget. They are $771,000 in need. In comparison the OTC needs your support - but collectively to make this years budget our goal is $24,000. Your act of renewal keeps us open and functioning. Across 140 members that is $171.42 per group. Please do your part and pay on time!
Benefits: real work through your membership support.
Benefits: real work through your membership support.
- OTC Education Program - the trail strategy calls for sector training. Through OTC you have a mechanism
- OTC Advocacy - the OTS consultations are the result of your Board at work
- Trail Projects - from Georgian Bay to North Shore of Superior to the Guelph to Goderich Greenway we are assisting communities to have the trails they want.
- Saving Trail - in Welland and Niagara we are saving the trail that was closed
- Building Trail - we have assisted in the hands on building of trail in Eastern Ontario
- Trails By Type - through our efforts use groups are better organized and this has led to the development of horse trails in Norfolk County for example
- Trail Master Planning - because of our provincial conference the Oxford County is engaged in a trail planning exercise, and we have commented on that.
- Weekly News Bulletins - Trailwise tells the rest of the trail community about what you are doing on your trails
- Justifying your Trails - through the Trail Counts Program you can tell your community who uses your trail and how much they use it.
(Barrie, ON. November 22, 2013) – The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) and its member clubs are celebrating the coming sledding season during Get Ready to Go Snowmobiling Ontario Week, November 24 to 30. The celebration starts as club volunteers are hard at work clearing, preparing and signing over 30,000 kilometres of OFSC trails. Although OFSC trails are not available for snowmobiling at this time, early indicators are very positive for a great 2014 snowmobile season ahead, with long-range forecasts predicting a cold, snowy winter and many parts of the province already having experienced below zero temperatures and early snowfalls.
