Ontario invests $3.9 million to restore 4,500 Kilometres of snowmobile trails
To protect Ontario’s snowmobile network and the communities that rely on it, the Ontario government is providing the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) with an additional $3.9 million this season, bringing total support to $4.9 million in 2025–26. This funding will enable the full reopening of 4,500 kilometres of trails while they work with the OFSC on a long-term trail strategy.
“We heard the concerns from riders and the OFSC, and we took action,” said Ric Bresee, parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Transportation, in a press release. “This investment will keep Ontario’s snowmobile trail system safe, reliable, and ready for the season, giving riders and communities the certainty they need to plan with confidence.”
Snowmobiling continues to be one of the province’s most popular winter activities, with more than 30,000 kilometers of trails. Reopening these trails is essential to supporting local businesses, protecting tourism revenue, and ensuring riders can safely access Ontario’s trail system
“Our Provincial Government is providing the needed funds to address the concerns held by snow mobile associations both locally, and across Ontario,” said Laurie Scott, MPP for Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock. “This investment will ensure that Ontario’s snowmobile trails are safe and open for recreational use to support our local tourism and economy.”
