As some of you are aware of the ongoing positive partnership between

Snowcrest Riders, the Town of Gravenhurst and the Town of Gravenhurst

Snowmobile Tourism Task Force, Snowcrest Riders is planning on cutting a

section of trail on Town Property on Saturday November 3rd. Last season a

section of trail was cut to eliminate some road running on Muldrew Lk Rd

(Trail C101D). On Nov 3rd we will be cutting another section to further

reduce road running on Muldrew Lk Rd. We are asking for help from our

volunteers. If you have not volunteered for the Club before but would like

to, please come out and introduce yourself. You will be welcomed!

The section to be cut will require experienced and certified chainsaw

operators who must either have their Chainsaw safety certificate on file at

the Snowcrest office or provide a copy to the job Person in Charge on

Saturday November 3rd. Approved Chainsaw Safety PPE is a MUST for those

operating chainsaws. We can also use help if you have hand held snippers

for limbing and manpower to move logs & brush.

The job will begin at 8am, and is located just a couple of km's off of

hwy 169 Gravenhurst (near the Wharf) on Muldrew Lk Road.

Snowcrest Riders Steve Crown will be the PIC (Person in Charge) for this

project.

Please email snowcrest@vianet.ca to confirm if you will be coming out.

Thankyou in advance!!!

NO kidding. Talk about a town taking the bull by the horns. Good for them, and major KUDOS..

This is why it is important for Clubs to do Deputations to their Municipal Council and Staff one per year, to let them know how & what the Club is doing and remind them of what the Club as a volunteer organization brings to the community. It's best to form an alliance with the local businesses as Snowcrest did, Host an after hours Chamber of Commerce meet & greet with finger foods & refreshments and press "play" on the OFSC Opportunity knocks DVD. THEN, do the deputation to Council with the Opportunity knocks DVD and have one or 2 business owners / managers speak about the positive impacts the Club and trails provide for businesses. The Opportinity knocks DVD was a fantastic product that the OFSC put together, and distributed to ALL OFSC clubs in the Province. Money well spent if it is used!

Snowcrest Riders Board's intention is to share what we have done and how we did it with ALL Clubs in District 7 to make our District (not just 1 or 2 Clubs) stronger by partnering (land, financially, equipment etc) with the local Municipalities. Clubs can not continue to count on Provincial money to do every little thing that needs to be done.

Great Work today crew! Thank you to Megan, Brandon, Craig, Al, Steve, Mark, Gord, Glen, and Bob Thanks to the Town of Gravenhurst for their support by removing the no parking signs and allowing us to cut a new trail on Municipal property to further reduce road running on Muldrew Lk Rd. The new section connects directly to the junction of Snowcrest trail #15 and C101D.

Great job guys. Cool pictures...

Thanks to Blake & Aaron today, the trail signs are up through the town of Gravenhurst. Sorry I had to bail on you guys but Sandi & I did get the Town of Gravenhurst show booth set up at the Muskoka Tourism building this afternoon. Things are starting to take shape!
