Oxford County Approves Trails Masterplan Study!
Hi Patrick,
The Oxford County Trails
Council petitioned the County council and asked for $75,000 to do a
trails master plan for Oxford. The budget came down yesterday and we
were approved, along with discussion that the council wants to become
more actively involved in trails development in Oxford. I believe that
this 180 degree shift in thinking from past years is partially due to
bringing Trailhead to Oxford County...(Trailhead Ontario is the
provincial trails conference and it was held in Ingersoll in June 2012)
