MPP Vic Fedeli took part in an online meeting with representatives from the Near North Trail Association to celebrate the successful completion of the work done thanks to a $57,000 Resilient Communities Fund grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).

OFSC District 11 welcomes this funding from the NOHFC to complete four important infrastructure and trail rehabilitation projects.

The Pickerel River bridge project is one of ten infrastructure projects that are receiving financial support as announced by Northern Development Minister Greg Rickford earlier this season.

Funding secured through the Federal & Provincial Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program's (ICIP) Community, Culture and Recreation (CCR) stream ensures the safe passage of snowmobilers by replacing 2 bridges and refurbishing 3, along with purchase of new equipment necessary to maintain remote sections of trails.
