Responding to concerns from property owners and trail groups alike, Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark has called on the government to immediately withdraw Bill 100, the Supporting Ontario’s Trails Act, 2015.
Clark said the major problem with Bill 100 is the confusion around the section dealing with easements between property owners and trail groups such as snowmobile and ATV clubs, hikers, horse-back riders and skiers.
Clark says his office is hearing from trail groups across Eastern Ontario now being served notice from property owners that existing access agreements have been terminated. He says significant sections of snowmobile trails in Leeds-Grenville have already been closed as a result of the bill.
