Ontario Trails News - An Update on Ontario Trails 5172018
Monday, July 25, 2016
Ontario Trails news - thanks for the mentions, take a survey, Toronto Bruce Trail, TrailheadToronto!
Everyday Ontario Trails assists trails in Ontario - Service Request Form
The Ontario Trails Council requests that folks start using it's Service Request form so that we can track the supports we provide to trail organizations in Ontario - a lot of which is unfunded.
Our work, leading to Bill 100, or an Ontario Trails Implementation Strategy benefits all trails, but not all support our work, so if you want our valuable assistance please complete this form going forward so we can track requests!
We believe in trails and would be happy to assist as per our mandate and mission, but a priority, given resource and time constraints will be given to members first.
Announcing Trailhead Toronto!
In Fall of 2016 trail enthusiasts and supporters are headed to Toronto for a day of meetings and lively discussion about all types of local and regional trails.Are you a member of the OTC? Are you Toronto based, a trail group, a service provider, a developer of trails? Why not join us as a presenter on the very important date of November 24th.
Why is that date important? Its the day before the Ontario Trails Coordinating Meeting that is the implementation framework the province has adopted to address trail issues in Ontario. Ontario Trails Council is co-chair of the process.
For the last 20 years risk, user behaviour and resultant liability has been the number one issue facing trail managers and operators. Through member support we have achieved significant reductions in liability exposure that the insurance industry is declaring as positive.
After 12 years of work we got a trails act that reduces trail liability making easier for ALL trail organizations to secure trails due to reduced risk exposure. This act supports the management strategy and vice versa.
So why not attend or present @Trailhead Toronto? Showcase your project to government and the other 25 trail leaders that will be meeting the next day to decide directions of change.

- The Toronto Bruce Trail Club provides the Car Pool feature as a service to members but has no responsibility as far as the car pooling itself is concerned. Members use service at their own risk.
- Persons registering for a car pool agree to share their telephone and/or email address as listed on the car pool system.
- Footnotes has a suggested car pool fee, but this does not take into account distance and number of passengers. Car poolers may want to make their own arrangements in this regard.
- On hikes involving a car shuttle there should be no more than 3 people in a 5-seater car. On loop hikes there is no restriction.
Create a new Car Pool For car hikes listed below, click on the appropriate "Join Car Pool" link, otherwise click on this link and choose, from the drop-down list, the hike for which you want to organize a car pool.
