Landowner agreements do have expiry dates. I have been setting them for five or ten years depending on what the landowner is good with. I still have many that are one year agreements. Landowners can cancel the agreement with 60 days notice. The closing of the recent trails should also fall under the 60 day agreement but OFSC can just shut them down. I am still concerned about reopening the trails as the Landowner tool to enter agreements still don't show trails that were closed and I know for a fact I have agreements to renew and enter into database. Christmas is coming, snow is coming and I need to get these agreements into the system so we can inspect and re- sign the trails. Our club along with many are working overtime to get trails ready. We need OFSC to speed up the process. Jerry -

Our club had people attend our meetings expressing concerns about Carden Club. On many occasions these people reached out to the club to volunteer as they live in the area and saw the trails degrading. No replies back. They contacted district and OFSC where nothing was done until they were shut down along with the district. No opportunity was given to change over exec and start new until last year. Our club did not have good relations (in my opinion) with Carden. We are being offered a groomer from Carden club and we said no way. Won't touch their mismanaged poorly maintained equipment. We will keep what we have as we know its history. I wish all the best to Kirkfield sno-plan and I have offered as much help as they need to get mou and contacts with Kawartha Lakes etc. -
The support for these trails has always been strong. Carden was actively turning away volunteers and trying to keep a lid on their mess over the last few seasons they existed. -
There's obviously reasons that District and Club no longer exist, the as you call them "Overlords" did exactly what was asked of them by all clubs. Make sure everything's running on the up and up so no volunteers are sticking their necks out legally, and the necks of other volunteers out jeopardizing the whole org. Yes it's great there's lots of support now, but fact is had they all of pressed as hard then as they did now we wouldn't be having this conversation. As has always been, blaming the OFSC, District or Clubs is blaming the wrong people, blame the riders who don't step up before it's too late. It wasn't all that long ago the OFSC was 200+ clubs, now we are just under 180. -
Nutter and Yukon I understand the rules and the supposed processes. The OFSC buried their heads in the sand for years while people like myself and a few others on here tried to get involved but were prevented. I contacted the District a number of times and was told get in touch with Carden. Many on here and around have acknowledged the difficulties with Carden. The District should have stepped in before the loss of trails. Isn’t that the purpose of having a district? And the OFSC overlords looking down on the districts and clubs? What is their purpose if not to make sure things run smoothly? Look at the support now that has come out of the wood work! The number of volunteers who have put their names in to help. Did they just materialize out of nowhere or were they always there frustrated?
