Some areas have rare and sensitive plants that can be easily damaged or destroyed. As well, trails are home to many animals. Don’t make new trails or use unmarked (unsigned) trails. Some areas may require user fees. Check with the Trail Association or Conservation Area; you may be asked to pay a daily or weekly fee. These fees help to maintain the trail. Some trails may close seasonally. Watch for and obey any trail closure signs in the area. Check the trail condition before going too far. If you are leaving tracks over 1.5 cm (more than 1/2 inch) deep you really shouldn’t be there. Most trails experience problems in the spring. If there are no signs posted, but weather conditions have been bad, please do not use the trail. Stay to the right to allow other users to pass to your left. Respect neighbouring landowners by staying off private property and avoiding excessive noise. Leave the trail as you found it; whatever you pack in, pack out. Maintain control of your pet. Keep your dog on a leash and clean up after it. When stopping for a rest, move to the side to allow other users room to pass. Leave the wildflowers and wildlife for others to enjoy. Respect trail signs and use only trails that are signed for your user group. Take only pictures, leave only footsteps Adapted with permission from the Ontario Trails Council The Ontario Trails Council promotes the creation, preservation, management and use of recreational trails.

    Northern Projections Kenora District Human Capital Series Dr. Bahktiar Moazzami northernpolicy.ca Huskie the Muskie, McLeod Park, Kenora, ON Northern Policy Institute / Institut des politiques de Nord Kenora District | August 2019 3 Who We Are Northern Policy Institute Northern Policy Institute is Northern Ontario’s independent think tank. We perform research, collect and disseminate evidence, and identify policy opportunities to support the growth of sustainable Northern Communities. Our operations are located in Thunder Bay and Sudbury. We seek to enhance Northern Ontario’s capacity to take the lead position on socio-economic policy that impacts Northern Ontario, Ontario, and Canada as a whole. About the Series This Human Capital Series is an update of an earlier series published in partnership with Northern Ontario Workforce Planning. Workforce Planning Ontario is a network of 26 Workforce Planning Boards covering four regions across the province. Workforce Planning Boards gather intelligence on local labour market supply and demand, and work in partnership with employers, employment services, educators, researchers, economic development, government and other stakeholders to identify, understand and address labour market issues. This includes supporting and coordinating local responses to meet current and emerging workforce needs. Given the unique geography and labour market issues that impact Northern Ontario, all 6 planning boards in the north have collaborated to form Northern Ontario Workforce Planning. They include: Algoma Workforce Investment Corporation (AWIC); Far Northeast Training Board (FNETB); The Labour Market Group (LMG); Northwest Training and Adjustment Board (NTAB); North Superior Workforce Planning Board (NSWPB); and Workforce Planning for Sudbury & Manitoulin (WPSM). FNETB and NSWPB are currently pilot sites for Local Employment Planning Councils (LEPC).
