North Bay Parry Sound Health Unit ordering area OFSC trails closed


Giddy UP

Recommended Posts

Giddy up, I hear your point, but  I live in simcoe county, I am planning a day ride in Parry Sound district, I have a cottage - year round, I am planning on riding up cleaning the driveway and the roof then riding back to my truck. I also bought my passes from the district, and pay taxes in that district. My original worry was that the district was still in the stay at home order, however I need to ensure the cottage is o.k.

I don't believe that travel was ever banned or illegal during Covid times in Ontario (other than some reservations) unless people from more than one household were travelling in the same vehicle. Snowmobile trails are open and although trails between health units are closed per OFSC requirements, the only thing I think you could be charged with is tresspassing if you were travelling on a closed trail and thats a longshot in my opinion. Cleaning the roof of your cottage off should be considered essential I would think as your cottage could be in danger if it isn't done.

Thats what I do when I go riding. No trails in Halton. May have to go run the c101d on the weekend. I like that trail.

Absolutely!  I agree that you should be able to do that.  If you own a cottage I believe that you have every right to go and enjoy it, and especially check on it to make sure everything is ok.  I am really referring to folks that trailer up and ride then leave.  I think we need to respect the fact that this region is still in "lockdown mode" at least until March 8th, and they are only opening the trails to "local residents" - not a "free for all" opening.  It is what we fought for, and finally got it as we felt it never should have been closed in the first place when all other regions were open for these outdoor activities.   If it was up to me I would say Giddy UP for everyone. :D  I am in the same boat.  My "Primary" residence is in Kearney - however, my 92 year old Mother is in LTC in Midland and I am a Primary Caregiver, so we also have a home in Victoria Harbour as well.  When we go to Victoria Harbour - we stay at least 2 weeks or more and vice-versa....so we definitely isolate when in either of those two places.  It is the travelling back and forth and back and forth that they don't want for day riders that could get things shut down again.  There are so many other spots that are OPEN and not still in lockdown that those folks should consider first is all I am saying.  Hopefully we will move out of the lockdown status by March 8th and it may not be an issue any longer.  Everyone is getting COVID madness and COVID weary.  I know I am! :banghead:

I don't mind people traveling to other areas, what pisses me off is the lack of respect from those that are traveling to these places like self entitle pricks.

Give an example?

Cause millions of people are moving around from place to place in this province every day, what is it exactly you see from people?

I dont see anywhere where these trails are only open to locals. In fact the trail map states they are open.

Last time I checked your pass said ONTARIO Federation of Snowmobile Clubs.

 

I guess the "buy where you ride" - will now be for your 50 mile loops - gated at both ends.

Each district can be it's own Haliburton Forest - yippee!

well one i can give is parking in lots to take up 3 or 4 parking spots instead of being considerate and park fucken normal to allow more truck and trailers to park at that spot as well. 

 

I'm not talking about millions of people, I'm talking about out of town sledders

The Lockdown Order by the MOH in the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit is still in effect and travel between Health Units is discouraged. You will notice that the OFSC ITG shows specific trails closed which connect one Health Unit to another.

This is a problem for sure, or park so others can’t get out. 
 

just a small thing to consider, yet it’s not......:headbang:

Seeing as the trails have reopened, can we move the conversation over to the thread puggz started?
