Ontario Trail News - walking, cycling, biking, equestrian, mountain biking - news from all over Ontario's trails

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: and many many more!

As you can see from the article and questions we are asking headed into the provincial election, we work to make sure there is a community appreciation of trails, and from the diagram below you can see how we do this on an ongoing basis.



On April 30th the OTC Board passed a Motion suggesting that all members write a letter of support to your MPP's and MP's. If you want a copy of the template just call 613-484-1140

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.
 

Ontario Trails Council Website Refresh - some hints

On the new website we showcase over 1800 trails. Did you know you can now use the Nearby Function on each trail page to highlight trip planning options! The Nearby Function teels you what trails are nearby. That way if you are out for a couple of days you can explore trails, or trails near a town.



In this example you can find trails near Moonbeam Ontario, Use each of the icons to plan your trip accommodations, meals, transit to and from, or if you are in need of supplies you can find fixes for your tent, or your bike.

Ontario Trails News - news and activity, hiking, waking, biking, camping - information from all over Ontario's 2600 trails!

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:
  • Upper Canada Equestrian Association, with horse trails in Niagara
  • Hamilton Burlington Trails Committee with Pan-Am legacy projects
and many many more!

I am pleased to provide a copy of a letter we recently received from Rainbow Routes 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.
