I dont, they make huge money of sledders and atvs. I think there is more to it. Maybe regulations are becoming to strict for having that many dogs. Maybe cost is too high for small return.
Those where also some of there reasons they gave. I just had the feeling they are. going to shift there world wide marketing to more of an eco theme.Could be wrong but thats were the money is. Peter is a very smart guy.I guess the money I gave them over the last 50yrs wasn't enough.

The Forest announced today that they are discontinuing there acclaimed dog sled program.One of reasons given was there going to focus on a less impact user experiences . I think that spells trouble for sledders.

Looks like some Good News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
News Release: Health Unit Opens Skating Rinks, Skating Trails, Tobogganing Hills, OFSC Snowmobile Trails and Snowmobile Trails on Crown Land.
Posted on Friday February 19, 2021
NORTH BAY, ON – The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (Heath Unit) is lifting closures of outdoor skating rinks, skating trails, tobogganing hills, Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) snowmobile trails and snowmobile trails on Crown Land in the district effective Monday February 22, 2021. The outdoor amenities were closed in January 2021, after numerous complaints about individuals and groups not following public health measures.
Municipalities are asked to assess their plan and capacity to be able to safely open their outdoor recreational amenities in compliance with COVID-19 public health measures. Plans must ensure that individuals are following public health measures, such as physical distancing, following gathering limits and wearing a face covering, as required. If there is evidence that public health measures are not being followed, the Health Unit will re-evaluate the situation, potentially resulting in the closure of these outdoor amenities.
OFSC snowmobile trails and snowmobile trails on Crown Land are also permitted to reopen as of February 22, 2021. This decision was made through consultation with the OFSC, who have outlined a comprehensive COVID-19 Flex Trails plan. If there is evidence that public health measures are not being followed, the Health Unit will re-evaluate the situation, potentially reclosing these trails.
Outdoor physical activity, such as walking, running, playing outside and biking are important for physical and mental health and still recommended by the Health Unit. However, all activities outside the house need to be done with extreme caution, following the COVID-19 public health measures, and should be done close to home.
If you think you may have COVID-19 symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has it, first self-isolate and then use Ontario's Self-Assessment Tool to see if you need to seek further care. If you need further assistance call your health care provider or the Health Unit at 1-800-563-2808. If you have severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, you should call 911 and mention your symptoms.

I bought several sleds and gear off The Cove and felt they didn't appreciate my business. Ended up at St Onge, a little further but price was better and they treated me like I mattered.
I live in the same place as you,must be why I would say the exact same thing,"I felt they didn't appreciate my business". Ended up at Northland Rec.

As we wait for the trails to open I wonder if anyone is able to tell me what is going on with the C trail between Britt and Key river. When looking at the OFSC map it is now taking the trail a long way inland from Georgian bay then back out again . What’s up with that ? What happened to the old route ?
Look in the Ontario North section under 400 twin laning. I explained it there.

The Ontario Minister of Health is returning most of Ontario to the colour coded system we had previously this coming Monday. Unfortunately because of the rapidly spreading variant in the North Bay Health area, which I believe is the Brazil strain, we are now being treated and controlled in the same health group as Toronto, Peel and York. Still severe lockdown til the 22nd and then they will look at all these 4 areas then. They have mentioned that this is in an apt in Nippissing and has spread rapidly in the past week. Ford mentioned in one of his news conferences this week that this is of particular concern and they are watching this area carefully. We have gone from just a few each week of the first covid strain to weeks without any new cases to I believe 28 new cases in just a few days. Fortunately every senior in LTC in our whole health district has now been vaccinated so perhaps we will not see deaths in the nursing homes up here.
I believe it is 21 cases,All in 1. apartment building. Drop them off some pizza and toilet paper,and lock them down. Not the whole region.Mean while the members of the X country ski club are having a very gay old time.Please don't support the Dr that has very little qualifications for the job.Google him,go to medical sites.not much there.Take Dr Bonni Henery for example,somebody that helped so much with SARS in Toronto and area and read the pages long resume on public health qualifications. Dr Cheerios has a agenda that needs to be stopped.Oh and there is no provincial record of the brazilian strain in NB.

I told you what we are doing already..
Unbelievable. Our numbers don`t even begin to justify this. What does DR Cheerios have on the the Chief MOH. Did they go to medical school together or work together? Northbay has all there active cases in 1!! apartment building. Parry Sound is up from 3to 4. The fact that we are the only ones out side of the GTA not to released from lockdown is almost criminal.

Passed by Timmies at the Seguin Wednesday, funny not to see a parking lot full of trailers, looks like most people are abiding by the regulations, unfair or not
Pretty easy pickings for anybody enforcing unfair lockdowns. Tends to keep people away.

A new letter has now been sent to Hon. Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development. NO REPLIES have been received from any of our previous correspondence unfortunately. This letter was also sent to Premier Doug Ford, North Bay Nipissing News, CTV & Global as well.
It looks like that letter could have been sent to Minister of Sport and Tourism. Mt Packenham ski resort got an exemption to open from them.The MOH for Leeds et all didn`t even know about it. They are in a grey lockdown area.

-10 on the deck thermometer and strong blowing winds here in the Pointe Au Baril area north of Parry Sound this morning. Lots of fresh snow for grooming, trails should be ready to go if we get a Health Unit leader with a brain
Not if the groomer is broke.

Are you sure it's not CN? I know quite a few years ago a remote crossing on the CPR was closed & C105D crossed their tracks @ Pakesley (the Hwy 522 crassing) going forward. The CN's new alignment south of 522 & east of 69 (pluse the new route for the highway (you can see the new bridges from the overpass on the new CN tracks) is east of the current highway likely played a factor too.
Is the old 69 to be a service road south of 522 in the future? Maybe that bridge could be used (see C101D & Hwy 100 near Foleyet...)
No it's CP. Cp and cn cross paths south of there.CP heads east fora bit then northward,while CN comes from the east a bit before taking it's journey NW through the new alignment. Not that it matters through this area as they trade tracks. Cp goes north CN south.I expect they do this because the limited sidings available for trains to pass.Never the less good to see cooperating.
We are hoping to use the old 69 corridor,But I am not going to be involved the way they are going.Completing date to Parry Sound is 2017,2020in writing from MTO. My estimate is 2030,that would make my involvement in organized volunteer snowmobiling at over 55 yrs. Time to throw away the oars and pull the boat to shore.

I guess I zoomed in too far! I haven't gotten any of this season's maps (even Dist' 2), so I hadn't really looked at the trails.
Oh my isn't that a nice development, is it permanent?
Yes it is permanent.Thank CP rail for that. However we have a trail off of C that will be ready next year that is much closer to C105d. Then the whole thing will change again when the 4 lane expansion comes across the Key river.

There are some pretty serious water problems in there and with the way the weather has been this winter, I doubt that the North River is even close to being somewhat safe ice travel. It may even still be open water.
Yet it seems like 1/2 the Town of Parry Sound is out skating on the Big Sound today.

Ran into an OPP and Conservation Officer at the Pointe Au Baril Shell north of Parry Sound Thursday, both on sleds.
Said they were out checking for sledders and fisherman. They appear to be the only one's riding table top groomed trails LOL
Oh I saw them. Put up a trail Closed sign. They rode around it.
I wonder??

How many clubs don't have a OFSC groomer available for there use. Here we are Feb 24 and still not no good answer when it's coming. I am no newbie to this crap show and the executive is going to give up.
So all those that use C Trail between Pte au Baril and the Key River area don]t expect it to be open. Direct your disappointment towards the OFSC not the club.
