This season has seen some trail closures in local clubs due to “Lack” of Volunteers; this Y o u r N V S A P r e s i d e n t , is quite disappointing for everyone involved. When our trails open you can expect to see Tyler Hoy some changes with re-routes due to various reasons and we ask that you respect the signage and stay on the marked trails, even if they are not in the same location as last season. As always we are looking for new volunteers, keep in mind we have all different types of volunteer positions available from staking and signing trails, organizing social and fundraising events to just attending meetings and offering ideas. We have run into a road block with contacting our volunteers due to privacy policies and are hoping that members (permit buyers) contact us with their information so we can send periodic emails and newsletters. It is very important for us to keep in contact with all of our members to keep them informed and to help us grow! I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow volunteers for your tireless effort

Unfortunately, there was a slight setback to this year’s event after the Eastern Ontario Health Unit got involved, on top of the overwhelming amount of work for the aging volunteers; this led to 15 vendors being cut from the fair, from 125 vendors to 110. “Some people were very concerned that we’ve been shutdown by the Health Unit or something like that because Jane (top) and Tony Hendrikx had a booth set up to we’re no longer serving soups and stews.
