On June 1, the Ontario government passed the Supporting Ontario's Trails Act, 2016 to sustain and improve the province's trails system. It will protect and enhance thousands of kilometres of the province's urban, suburban, rural and remote land and water trails while also encouraging its expansion.

For more information, the full news release from the Ministry of Tourism, Culture & Sport can be found here.

If you're in the Kawarthas Northumberland region, you will have endless opportunities to choose from with a 120km Trans Canada Trail route, and special community events celebrating trails and outdoor recreation.
