    in Main Clubhouse

    Posted

    Find out how to get back up to 20% of your eligible 2022 Ontario accommodation expenses.

     

    Overview

    The temporary Ontario Staycation Tax Credit for 2022 aims to encourage Ontario families to explore the province, while helping the tourism and hospitality sectors recover from the financial impacts of the covid 19 pandemic.

    Ontario residents can claim 20% of their eligible 2022 accommodation expenses, for example, for a stay at a hotel, cottage or campground, when filing their personal Income Tax and Benefit Return for 2022. You can claim eligible expenses of up to $1,000 as an individual or $2,000 if you have a spouse, common-law partner or eligible children, to get back up to $200 as an individual or $400 as a family.

    The credit will provide an estimated $270 million in support to about 1.85 million Ontario families.

    OFSC Issues Urgent Appeal To Save Our Trails

    Snowmobile Trails, A Unique Winter Asset Benefitting All Ontarians

     

    (Barrie, ON – January 24, 2022): For more than 50 years, community-minded landowners have partnered with volunteers in local snowmobile clubs to provide their area with recreational snowmobile trails. This rural tradition has created many economic, recreational, social, and health benefits to enhance the winter well-being of hometowns and their residents across the province.

     

    With over 50% of trails now available for recreational riding, the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) is celebrating these unique and enduring relationships, and the incredible trail network of 30,000 kilometres of OFSC Prescribed Trails we’ve built together, about 60% of which are located on private property. Today, the OFSC is issuing a special call to action: Let’s work together to Save Our Trails.

     

    The OFSC Save Our Trails campaign reminds everyone how valuable OFSC trails are to snowmobilers, to landowners, and to all Ontarians, while recognizing that Illegal off-trail riding is becoming a challenge that requires our united action. Trespassing on private land is not only harmful to longstanding landowner relationships. It also causes serious land access issues for member snowmobile clubs in many areas, while threatening the winter livelihoods of many rural and northern communities. Save Our Trails asks Ontario snowmobilers to take personal and collective action against trespass by:

     

    • Always staying on the designated OFSC trail and never riding a closed trail.
    • Respecting landowner rights and property.
    • Refusing to ride with friends who trespass.
    • Reminding new participants why it’s important to stay on the trail.
    • Spreading the message across personal social media outlets.
    • Supporting OFSC advocacy for stronger anti-trespass enforcement and legislation.
    •  

    “Trespassing on private property and entering prohibited areas must become as unacceptable socially as it is legally.” stated Ryan Eickmeier, OFSC CEO. “Land use permission is a privilege, not a right, and it must be respected by every snowmobiler.”

    the lack of control over trail enforcement occurred when the Onrario Government took on more control over the OFSC a few years back, ....having them take complete financial control over the system, with  would put non snowmobilers ( politicians)  decision control over a complex system that needs expertise not more bureaucracy. 

     

    Very well said....

    Ive personally lost faith in the OFSC they seem to be focused on the wrong things and have put too much on the volunteers.

    Its at the point where every club should have a paid administrator just to keep track of paper work, its unbelievable.

    Really pinch us hard on paid operators vs volunteer, drivers abstracts, wages etc, I can imagine the time they wast discussing this stuff when they should be trying to come up with solutions for the things that are killing the sport and closing trails

     

    I'm starting to wonder if the OFSC has a Peter principle problem.  I don't know anything about the upper management of the OFSC but from what I've seen over the years it's possible.  I've seen it many time in companies I did business with. Very easy to spot it too...

     

     

    The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter, which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to "a level of respective incompetence": employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another.[1]

     

    The concept was explained in the 1969 book The Peter Principle (William Morrow and Company) by Peter and Raymond Hull.[2] (Hull wrote the text, based on Peter's research.) Peter and Hull intended the book to be satire, but it became popular as it was seen to make a serious point about the shortcomings of how people are promoted within hierarchical organizations. The Peter Principle has since been the subject of much commentary and research.

     

    Companies and organizations shaped their policies to contend with the Peter principle. Lazear stated that some companies expect that productivity will "regress to the mean" following promotion in their hiring and promotion practices.[9] Other companies have adopted "up or out" strategies, such as the Cravath System, in which employees who do not advance are periodically fired. The Cravath System was developed at the law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore, which made a practice of hiring chiefly recent law graduates, promoting internally and firing employees who do not perform at the required level.  Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths have suggested the additive increase/multiplicative decrease algorithm as a solution to the Peter principle less severe than firing employees who fail to advance. They propose a dynamic hierarchy in which employees are regularly either promoted or reassigned to a lower level so that any worker who is promoted to their point of failure is soon moved to an area where they are productive.
