COVID-19 UPDATE: Walking, hiking, and cycling use is permitted on the KTCT provided appropriate physical distancing is observed.
On October 16th the Lindsay Post reported that over the Thanksgiving weekend a police ATV patrol conducted a check in the former Emily Township that resulted in five ATV-related charges.
What wasn't mentioned in that report is that the charges were laid against ATVs that were on the Kawartha Trans Canada Trail.
Our Association has worked hard to prevent ATV use on the Kawartha Trans Canada Trail: there are signs at each access point, bollards to prevent entry, and rocks strategically placed to stop ATVs from ducking around the bollards.
We, and the many trail users concerned about ATV use, appreciate the efforts of the police to monitor ATV use.
For a detailed explanation of and rationale for our policy on motorized use of the Trail, refer to the FAQ section of the blog.
After observing flora and fauna along the trail, Ms. Johnson's grade 4 students at Jack Callaghan P.S. created a mural. Wade and Emily, standing in front of the mural, explained the process. They used markers to colour, cut out their creations (Wade seemed particularly proud of his poison ivy) then glued onto mural paper. The mural is posted along a hallway, to encourage other classes to continue to use the Trail
Principal Kathy Spaeth tells us that the school has been using the trail for cross-country running training and a number of classes have been out exploring the trail.
