sledjunk Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Actually there are 5 people on our board who are members of OC. Some of us are more active than others on here and it is possible that the new guys are on as well. My point is that we want to open the lines of communication with our permit buyers and with all riders in the area. There were a couple of other nominees for the board, and although they did not win a position, we want to encourage them to get active as we will need a lot of help. One of these is on here (snocrazy) and has come forward to help with our social media presence and web site. This is an area where we have been weak, so look for good things on Facebook, Twitter, and the web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techdenis007 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I believe the social media aspect is a good road to the end user. If you set your Facebook to send notices to your phone, you'll know when your local club has posted something ... might be just a photo, or it could be a warning about a closure or trail hazard. The point is, it's instant, and it's everywhere. Everyone's got a Facebook account .... it's free, so use it (that's where I upload my photos on here from). Just look at how Luc, Polar Bear Riders and other Northern clubs are working the social media to their advantage. I follow all of the D15 area clubs on FB and contribute from time to time, great to watch trails open and close, events like the bridge openings near SRF, etc. Nice to get instant updates. If you have a club exec online using social media to your clubs' advantage, you're getting directly to the users of your trails. Well done !

RotaxMike Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It has been awhile since I have been on ontarioconditions. Good to see some new faces. It was a very hard decision for me to step down from the board last year. I am liking what I am seeing & the positive attitude from the current & new board members. Looking forward to helping out as much as I can again & getting back behind the wheel of the groomer. I know SJ will like that, he is getting tired of getting his Tank, I mean Yamaha stuck in the drifts I see good things to come from Heart of Ontario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbakernbay Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Amazing to see so many new people complement the solid core of returnees and the Members had a surplus of Nominees to choose from. Hopefully we can attract even one or two newbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sledjunk Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Further news, our Publicity Director was involved in a serious car crash about a year ago and has been struggling to recover. Unfortunately, he has recently resigned due to his health issues, and, while we wish him all the best with his recovery, the board is pleased to announce that our new Publicity Director is Jason Noble and is reachable at publicity@heartofontario.ca. We welcome him to the board and are excited with our progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
