Ontario Trails Council requests information updates!
During the past two weeks, through the generous financial support of the Ontario's Highlands Tourism Organization, the OTC was able to secure the support services of Brooke Jones, a Queen's University Student. Brooke got to work right away updating our OTC contacts database.

ontario's highlands tourism organization logoYou may have received an e-mail from her requesting information so that we can stay connected. The OTC will not re-distribute or use the information in any way other than to connect with you in order to provide you with information updates about programs and services we provide. Including Trailhead Ontario information.

Sorry for any confusion we have since given Brooke her own gmail account - OTCProgamsAsst@gmail.com

She will follow up with you from this address in future. Many thanks for your continued support of our work.

Do you have a trail event planned? Please add it to our event calendar!  


G2G Funding Campaign AnnouncementPreview YouTube video G2G Rail Trail Crowdfunding Teaser

The Guelph to Goderich Rail Trail surrounds cyclists and hikers with the richness of Ontario’s pastoral landscape and rural heritage. Through hushed forest groves and rolling Mennonite farmland, across river valleys and wetlands, past 13 villages and towns, to the sunset horizon of one of the world’s Great Lakes, visitors of all fitness and skill levels can enjoy any part of the G2G’s 127-km length through four counties. Completion of the G2G Rail Trail opens Ontario’s pastoral heartland to the global fitness and recreation phenomena of backpacking and cycle tourism. The G2G helps rural Ontarians share their countryside and hospitality with the world.
G2G is launching a Crowdfunding campaign with the new charity based fundraising platform made by Indiegogo, called Generosity. All funds raised go directly to developing and improving the trail. All the communities along the trail will benefit directly as well as future users.
More information on the G2G Rail Trail can be found at:http://www.g2grailtrail.com/  
Thank you in advance for your generosity and support! Can’t wait to see you out on the trail
