I talked to my friend today and no way closed trails in our area, are going in now. Land use agreements aren't in place, too much snow for stakes too etc. wishful thinking. Most clubs will go with planned trails and at least deficit is gone. Looking good for next winter. We already have 16" of snow in south, should be open soon 

Not sure if there are strings attached to this funding or not. I suppose that will eventually come to light. 

AMEN

Don't disagree at all. My personal take from it is that they are quietly saying out loud that this flow of cash might be it for a while?

The Provincial and Federal Govs need to figure their own sh!t out, that statement coming from a politician is almost like a homeless guy telling me how I could better mop my kitchen floor while I toss a tooney in his gold plated cup.  lmao      Sleddings main ingredient is uncontrollable weather, the other ingredients, landowners, volunteers and permit buyers all need the economy to be healthy and legislation to be realistic to comfortably participate. Don't get me wrong, I certainly appreciate the $$ injection, that in the end helps everyone more than it helps sledders. But don't throw stones when your house has bigger windows.
