Muskoka Bill Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 1 hour ago, volunteer2 said: Thought I would revisit this since its about the OFSC Flex trails and now we have heath units in different colours and we are trying to make trip plans We are in Red and booked at Sturgean Falls and Auld Reekie Just FYI check out Edgewaters web page and what they say about travelling out of your area I know others have booked Cochrane as eg Any issues with address of where you come from ? Which colour is Pembroke in and what heath unit ? Also one concern could be that OFSC will have no control over is if the First Nations close up trail like they did in Quebec Again not fear mongering just trying to get input and advice Things have changed since OFSC has developed this plan I am thinking For a booking in Cochrane I was asked where I will be coming from, if it is a red zone I was told you should not be travelling , but if you do the cleaning staff will not do daily chores in your room unless you are willing to pay an extra daily fee ($20 times two people) for cleaning and at the end of your stay. Sounded like hazard pay compensation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not in a red zone at this point anyway but just trying to be aware of any and all possible situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westaway , I just called back to confirm and they said they weren't sure how they will handle guests from red zones, perhaps just leave towels for you somewhere, take out your own garbage... one of the options is the one I explained earlier Edited December 13, 2020 by Muskoka Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Doo Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Just chatted with Curtis, Brian and Kathys son at the Westway. They said yes to red zone visitors. Please use your common sense and stay the #%## home if your not feeling well at all etc. For 1 night only rooms, its good to go. If you are booking a room, and using it for more then 1 day, they are not doing the usual daily cleaning. Keeps potential exposure to the cleaning staff at a minimum. You can request more towels etc from the office, and they may have a spot to get them from in the hallway in the building closer to Tim Hortons, but will see how the first few group of visitors goes. Trying to have only 1 person in the office at a time for check in etc. MASKS PLEASE. And in the section that is close to Tim Hortons, please use your common sense, also wear MASKS in the hallway. Lets do our part to not screw this up for all of our fellow sledders. Yes we have rooms booked.

Turbo Doo Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Also i have talked to the Companion Inn in Hearst. The restaurant in not open for Breakfast. They are doing a continental breakfast, and ask that you go get it, and return to your room. MASKS used outside of room please. Doing room service for supper if you request that, and alcohol to your room. Sounds like restaurant is good for lunch and dinner. Not sure about seating, but was told that some of the rooms they have in the restaurant, could be used to seperate your group, or a larger party. All with local health protocols of course. Again, lets not try and screw this up. We have rooms booked next door at the old Queens, which is a super 8 now. Companion Inn and Super 8 have same owner now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

volunteer2 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 So one more question if anyone can answer The OFSC pandemic plan and Flex trail ability was prepared in October In the press release they talked of and gave examples of regions in different stages That is not the case as we have colours now Any updates from OFSC ? One thing I did read there which is that snowmobiling is not deemed an essential service Gonna be very interesting what happens in the next bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes majority of southern Ontario. Have a feeling ofsc is going to pull plug again, just like they did last spring for 28 days or so. Prove me wrong ofsc! Could be no trails until end of January when restrictions lift, just in time for three or four week south season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
