After a closing prayer by Tinney, there was a ribbon cutting ceremony and an invitation to explore the rehabilitated trails. HDTI sent out a press release about this grand reopening of 18 kilometres of non-motorized trails throughout North Hastings on Sept. 7. The event celebrates the completion of a project made possible by a $145,800 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, so that residents and non-residents of all abilities can enjoy the outdoors via these trails. Trimbee welcomed everyone and thanked them for coming out to the ceremony that day. She then introduced Trimble, a board member with HDTI and the past chair. Trimble thanked everyone for coming, saying that COVID-19 stopped them last year but it was great to be here now. She also expressed gratitude for all stakeholders who had made the reopening of the 18 kilometres of non-motorized trails a reality in the Town of Bancroft, Limerick Township and Wollaston Township. She also mentioned the concurrent children’s program with the North Hastings Public Library running in Millenium Park. She also provided a land acknowledgment and thanked the contributions of the Algonquin nation in the whole process. Next up, Tinney, Martin and Yateman had a smudging ceremony, which is a cleansing ceremony done daily to get rid of any negative energies. They also played a song about the eagle, since the ceremony was happening at Eagles Nest. They explained that they honour the eagle because it can take prayers and messages up to the Creator because it can fly the highest of all the birds and above the clouds. Oglaza said that the HPEPH was proud to have been a partner in the development of these trails. “The investment in these trails came at an optimal time. Over the past year and a half, we’ve been taught the lesson about the value of outdoor spaces and the activities we can enjoy in them. These trails will contribute to the improved physical and mental health of our community now [continuing to deal with COVID-19] and well into the future,” he says. Connor spoke next, and said that over the past two decades, the OTC has supported about $4.5 million of the Ontario Trillium Foundation funding grants and they’ve worked on a couple of infrastructure grants with Infrastructure Canada through the National Trails Coalition. “At the bedrock of all this, we’ve worked hard to ensure that provincially and nationally, local groups like yours get the resources they need and it’s our pleasure to have developed 51 of these committees to our 220 member organizations, including HDTI and Hastings County and we’re grateful for your support,” he says. Trimble spoke again, outlining each trail system and the upgrades they had received including; new kiosks, new stones and bedrock placement, new signage, wayfinding and directional arrows, bear bins, accessible washrooms and upgrades to the trails themselves to make them more maintenance free. “Everything was upgraded with major improvements through the grant at this particular location. With the counters we’ll be able to have some statistics and we can apply to other grants and funders because we’ll have some actual statistics. So, these are some of the major improvements that were taking place at the different locations, so we hope you enjoy them,” she says. Wiggins, who attended for Mayor Paul Jenkins, who was otherwise engaged, was up next. He mentioned the town’s partnership with NHPL, who are going to be doing a backpack system for people to come and enjoy the trails and the nature around Bancroft. “It’s quite a little package put together. I know the backpack includes a lot of stuff like binoculars, etc,” he says. Stefanski spoke next and said that McGeachie Conservation Area boasts a myriad of outdoors activities for people to do and a trail system second to none. He also highlighted the rescue team at their municipal office that could respond in short order should an incident occur on the trails. “HDTI and Ontario Trillium Foundation have stepped up to make exercise on these trails viable and a truly outdoor experience for those who may not have another way to enjoy the outdoors and with that bring economic growth to North Hastings,” he says. Next up was Wollaston’s Deputy Mayor Darlene Colton, who remarked it had been quite a hike on the new trails. “So, it’s best to make sure you have a good pair of shoes/boots especially with all this rain the past week and don’t forget a camera. Wollaston invites all visitors to visit The Gut and all destination trails that bring economic development to the area,” she says. Clarke was next up and said that NHEDC was one of the first who thought of the idea of bringing non-motorized trails to fruition in the area. “Cathy Trimble and other board members formed the original trails subcommittee who procured the Trillium grant. Eventually this subcommittee became known as Hastings Trails and received the $145,800 in grant money from the Trillium foundation to rehabilitate the trails with extra funds from Hastings County and Carlow Mayo. NHEDC is thrilled to have been part of making these non-motorized trails a reality,” she says.

President's Message and more important information from Ontario Trails. #ontariotrails

Ontario Trails is a charity, led by a volunteer board of directors that promotes the use, management, development, and preservation of trails and trail-based activities in Ontario.    Terri's Trail Talk Reflections from OTC President, Terri LeRoux Here at OTC, there are seven (7) vital goals guide the work that we do. To provide a forum for persons who are interested in the promotion, establishment, development, preservation, maintenance and use of recreational trails to share their interest and experience with others. To increase awareness and appreciation of the value of trails and trail networks among governments, corporations, organizations and individuals. To increase the number, length, variety and accessibility of trails in Ontario. To preserve and enhance the quality of trails and trail networks, in harmony with the environment. To unify trail interest groups in an effective and efficient manner. To promote the safe and responsible use of trails; and To reflect and promote a conservation ethic in all aspects of the work of the Ontario Trails Council. Achieving these goals takes a village, or rather an entire trail sector to succeed, and the village needs a leader. OTC is that leader – and through the collective efforts of government, trail management agencies, trail user groups, businesses, NGOs and trail users, everyone has a role to play to push these goals forward and build a better trails community for the benefit of all Ontarians. The best way YOU can help is to get involved. Become an OTC member and help form the voice of our leadership.  Already a member? Join an OTC Committee and help us make traction.  To learn more please contact me or Patrick Connor, Executive Director at execdir@ontariotrails.ca Happy trails, Terri Email: ibelongoutdoors@gmail.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/ibelongoutdoors Twitter: www.twitter.com/ibelongoutdoors   Session at PRO with a Trails Focus   WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1:00 - 4:00 pm ET Indigenous Engagement in Parks and Trails  Presentation Description: This presentation will focus on initiatives led by Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) involving Indigenous engagement taking place in CVC’s conservation areas and trails. As a community-based and environmental organization, CVC strongly believes that recognizing the territories, traditional knowledge and culture of Indigenous people is crucial to moving toward reconciliation. As such, CVC actively seeks out ways to support Indigenous peoples, collaborating with Indigenous partners to develop placemaking and programming along CVC’s trails and at our conservation areas. To illustrate aspects of this ongoing work, this presentation will focus on several CVC-led projects and strategic initiatives involving Indigenous engagement, including CVC’s Credit Valley Trail (CVT), Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area (JTLCA) Island Lake Conservation Area Management Plan (ILMP) and lastly, CVC’s Conservation Areas Master Strategy (CAMS). Together, these initiatives demonstrate meaningful engagement between CVC and Indigenous partners that has led to the creation of educational opportunities at CVC parks and trails; providing publicly accessible, interpretive spaces and programming that encourage the public to deepen their understanding of the ancestral history of the Credit River Watershed. This work also represents CVC’s continued commitment to our Indigenous partners; supporting Indigenous leadership and continuing to promote innovative practices and inclusivity in our parks and along our trails.

• Activity Pages • Books, Maps, Mugs and Tees   • Dufferin County Delegation • Member News • Activity Updates

Ontario Trails adds 4 Activities Through the process of consultation with the trails community, regional tourism organizations and destination marketing organizations we were asked to highlight some more specific information on the OTC website. This included aerial trails, a sub-set of off-road trails with the mountain biker in mind, winter biking and skating trails. We encourage all members and organizations to let us know if you have a trail with the activities we haven't labelled. Hey! Know of a trail we don't? Be sure to add it anytime. Takes about 6 minutes - if you've got local photos, add those (Add 4 minutes). Best 10 minutes you could spend all day! ADD YOUR TRAIL Help us get your trail on the site An important part of the new OTC Web site will be a page dedicated to each trail. It is important to give us as much information as possible - this will be the only source for creating your dedicated page on the OTC Web site. If we don't get the information from you, it won't make it onto the site. Thank you for taking the time to add your trail to the Ontario Trails Council Web site. ACTIVITIES PAGE Easier access to the information you want. It's clear - people that manage and operate trails wants access to information they can review so they can be in step with the best practices and current management operations of trails. We've re-packaged information on the OTC website for quicker access - got a question look for the Standards and Practices page.

Dufferin County Forest Trails Meeting On June 27th Pam Coburn of the Ontario Equestrian Federation, Jack de Wit fo the OTC and CRHRA, and Patrick Connor from OTC made depositions to Dufferin County Social PLanning Committee regarding the recreational uses in the forest. In the last month or so splitting of trails, as indicated through new signage was putting horses of safe trails onto roads. Over 100 horse riders responded in a week, with a petition, a call to action to OTC, OEF and CRHRA, and led by Stewart Dunkley (local enthusiast), we were able to get a motion from committee that the cyclists (mountain bikers) and the horses (who have to form a leadership group) to work with staffs to define and clarify trail routing, mapping, signage and capacity, amongst other issues between each other and with staff. The DCF has a very equitable recreational plan, and over 4 years went into crafting the document. The OTC appreciates the efforts of staff and council, and we are grateful for their guidance in making a forest that will work with a process to reduce conflict and improve trail safety in the forest.
