Norfolk County - Trails #1
This is our opinion too! All over Ontario. OTC was lucky enough to be asked to say a few words at the ribbon cutting opening of this trail in 2011. I beleive we also gave the local folks some funding to complete the project.
Congrats Terry, and Frank and all the great folks in Norfolk - the Waterford Heritage Trail and Norfolk County are both supporting members of the Ontario Trails Council. Thanks and congratulations!

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:
I am pleased to provide a copy of a letter we recently received from the Brant Waterways Foundation regarding the OTC. We thank them for their support.
On April 30th the OTC Board passed a Motion suggesting that all members write this type of letter to their MPP's and MP's.
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.
