The Ontario Trails Council is a registered charity, led by volunteers who promote the development, management, use and conservation of Ontario's trails.

Mapping Panel -
the best way to assist trail users or trail tourists is through
effective communication. One popular way is through maps. Maps assist in
telling folks the length of a trip. They tell trail users about trail
location, amenities such as accommodation, restaurants, fuel, supplies
camping, etc. that are on or near the trail.
Maps
and map technologies are changing at lightening speed. Google maps, map
integration, handheld maps, topographical maps, mash-ups, waterproof,
gps - all these are new and innovative techniques that communicate the
destination and the experience to the local user or the traveler.
More and more municipalities are producing local maps by activity and trail to assist these out-bound adventurers. Our mapping panel has brought together some of Canada's and Ontario's finest map producers for a discussion on their product lines, their market segments and the new techniques they are bringing to market.
So whether you are a trail user or a trail manager producing maps - you'll want to attend this session!
