The 2005 Ontario Trails Council Conference and Annual General Meeting.

President’s Message - Welcome to the OTC Workshops and Conference!

On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to welcome all participants to the OTC

2005 Haliburton Conference “Share the Experience – Experience the Sharing”. We are

presenting this year’s conference in conjunction with Haliburton and its trails

organization, The Haliburton Highlands Trails and Tours Network. We are pleased to

be in Haliburton and we are looking forward to a top notch event.

This year we have worked really hard to present a world class line up of presenters

and information. One of the fundamentals of any provincial organization is to ensure

that delegates leave our event enriched and energized. This year we are presenting a

pre-conference workshop focused entirely on trail building, trail design and

maintenance. These professional development workshops are designed with the trail

professional in mind and are being presented by Sir Sanford Fleming College , Trent

University, OTC, and trail builders of the International Mountain Biking Association.

I would encourage you to take an opportunity to visit with old friends while enjoying

some of Haliburton’s trails. We have specifically set aside camp

oriented trail experiences for you! This year’s committee has focused

on devoting outdoor time so that the three days are interactive with

trail. I am really looking forward to spending time with you, as we

share in the experience of our 2005 trails conference. Enjoy!
