Club shared a picture of heavy equipment on site this week starting construction. While I am not sure about the mine I believe both the mill (whose owner is also an investor in the project) and CN have provided some sort of room purchase guarantees. Won't be done for this season but good to see work starting.

I wonder where the data came from that confirmed that the reason people are riding on trails that are closed is because they are using tools like Trakmaps? When i use Trakmaps to plan my route, I always refer to the ITG to ensure the trail is available.

Yup Me too. They do my farm, auto sled, atv, life insurance. They know that if im on hold for longer than a few minutes, i can walk into the office and smack them over the head since they are that close to me.

Like mentioned above it would be ideal that the OFSC presents the data they have that stopping usage of track maps is going to lower trespassing. No other places (states, provinces, etc) to my knowledge are doing this? It just seems the OFSC continues to take these stances that blindside members and offer less services for them. For anyone involved in the OFSC was this discussed at district meetings or the AGM? Or with landowners? I have the file now so should be good for a little bit…

The argument would be atv's in the off season. Its either an atv issue or an insurance liability issue or both. Not snowmobiliers riding closed trails.

One company "all in" for me, ya win some ya lose sum!

Yep and the advertising on the maps helps pay for club/district expenses.

Paper maps were great for promoting the comraderie of riding. Stop, pull out a map, check the map smoke break ( for those that needed it ), rip on each other about their crap riding skills, push down your buddies kill switch, etc. I prefer those days

paper map, compass and some sense is all you need to navigate. It got us where we are.
