A group that works with recreational trails in the province says a new provincial bill is about consolidating information.
Patrick Connor is the Executive Director of the Ontario Trails Council. It's a not-for-profit organization working to promote the management, use, development and preservation of recreational trails.
Conner says Bill 100 started from the grassroots in an effort to put information in one place.
"Even though it's a Trails Act, it's not really about trails; it's about consolidating existing legislation in one place so that if I'm a trail group or a land owner or other trail stakeholder, I can find out what legislation impacts me. Our concern was that it was all over the place and people did not know and did not clearly understand what legislation affected them."
Conner says Bill 100 does not change any existing legislation despite concerns recently raised about it.
The Ontario Trails Council has released a short FAQ about Bill 100 which can be found on their website.
