The OFTR has been busy entering into trail partnership agreements with various stakeholders in Ontario....
 
The following contracts have been signed and work will begin very soon:
 
Simcoe County Forest                               $68,200
SCORRA                                                          3,000
Ganaraska Forest                                          41,000
Ausable River Riders                                    12,360
Twin Mountain Snowmobile Club              28,000
OFTR Land Use Fund                                  20,500
 
Total (so far)                                             $173,060
 
 
Through Canada's Economic Action Plan, the Government of Canada is investing $25 million to improve 514 recreational trails across Canada. This investment in Canada's outdoor heritage will help to quickly create jobs, support into local economies, and attract tourists. The Government's $25-million contribution will be matched by the National Trails Coalition (NTC) and its partners.

The OFTR needed to find $866,666 dollars in matching funds in 30 days and came up with $949,546. "We were over-subscribed and able to capitalize on a shortfall from other trail federations", according to Ken Hoeverman, Executive Director

We hope to have the remaining $776,000 in contracts signed soon.

 
Stay tuned!!! 
 

A Sincere Thank You, and Continued Accolades for Nicole McCann's State Farm Agency
 
From Darin Easton...

We have some important information to share with the OFTR membership at the end of this memo, but first things first...

Hopefully everyone had a great time out on the trails this summer, let's keep our fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate with us for at least a few more weeks.  As the riding season comes to an end, however, we'd like to thank each and every OFTR member for a very productive year thus far. 

I'm extremely happy to share with you that we just wrote our 210th OFTR policy and it is important to us that we extend a very sincere "Thank you" to all of you.
