Goderich to Guelph Rail Trail – SW Ontario
What will the city of Goderich and Guelph have in common? Hopefully soon, the Guelph to Goderich Greenway Trail. This is a similar type of trail to the Kinghorn and the millennium in then it's another long distance regional trail that supports communities from the central counties to the shores of Lake Huron.
Anchored in Goderich by the Menesetung Bridge, this trail route runs through many Ontario heritage towns such as Blythe, Milverton, and Bunner ending in Guelph. stay in rustic bread and breakfasts later in the day.
The OTC is supporting this trail with resources and surveying, and funding applications and general communication trying to make this a signature destination for South Western Ontario.

Ontario Trails News - all about the unique value of Ontario Trails
About Membership - Mr. Jack De Wit, OTC President
Dear Members - With your support this week we achieved new levels of membership support.
I often get questioned what are the benefits of an OTC Membership? Well as a charity you are supporting our good works. From Kenora to Temiskaming to Windsor to Cornwall.
The OTC is the only 18 discipline, all trails, multi-use, single use, trail development, fund seeking, policy changing, government influencing, community assisting trail organization in Ontario. And more.
And only one of a handful of this type, nationally.
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.
Further in this bulletin we will tell you about some of the programs and services your financial support allows us to pursue and secure.
Right now we are assisting in trail development or programs in Northern Ontario, Georgian Bay, and in South Western Ontario, as well as Toronto, Hamilton, Hastings, Middlesex, Peel, Simcoe, and other places!
We still have real services to pay for, telephone, audits, travel etc. So please take the time to renew your support today!
