Christy Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) This is what we did this year. The local Home Hardware added $10 each on top of what we paid which is awesome. What did your club do? Any creative ideas? Anything landowners loved in the past? Edited July 1, 2021 by Christy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Farmer Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I know some clubs have given out leather work gloves. Those are always appreciated too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 Have any of you been in a club that did a landowner dinner-non covid times? I like the idea of it but I honestly don’t think most would come. Chesley Club does it successfully I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had some connections you could probabily get some sponsored food too, in exchange for advertisement. Maple lodge would be one company you could approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All landowners were eligible for a couple of free tickets, and tickets were also available to the general public to purchase. The dinner was both a fundraiser, and thank you at the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I once received leather work gloves with ofsc logo. Nice memory - thought about sledding every time I put them on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sksman Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Seems like the new trendy gift is a branded Yeti coffee mug. Possibly throw in a Tim’s card with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those can be pricey. My brother has on with the Yamacat logo. Over $60. Thing better fill itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zertrider Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Strathroy did a pancake breakfast at a local Maple syrup house for our landowners, until Covid. Edited July 6, 2021 by Zertrider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s nice actually. Hopefully snowmobilers buy his syrup. I always try to buy syrup from land owners that have trails on thier properties. Good to give back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volunteer2 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Ya landowner gifts have been an interesting topic. There was talk along time ago that maybe the landowners could get a tax credit from the province not sure if they were thinking on the income tax side or property tax side since that is the municipality. It never happened. But my point sorta is that would it be possible that every land owner in the province gets the same gift ? Like those gloves. I know every club has different ideas and they probably work for them but I do hope that every landowner is visited every year and something can be given to them Edited July 7, 2021 by volunteer2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe once every few years but nothing consistently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a good idea though. Too bad they couldn’t take some of fuel tax that us snowmobilers pay and use that money to give tax credits back to land owners. Ofsc can’t even tap fuel tax to get trail maintenance funds either. Government will say we damage road crossings with our carbides and studs and fuel tax needs to be used to repair damage. Vicious circle I guess. Maybe electric snowmobilers is answer to some of our problems, such as noise complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuvMyViper Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Clubs could do some sort of fund raiser (raffle etc) to raise money for the Land Owners. A Land Owners Appreciation Raffle comes to mind. We raised tons of money through our hockey teams like that. Just a thought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
