Thanks to the partnership between the Government of Canada and the NTC, $10 million will be available between 2014 and 2016 to help expand and rehabilitate Canada’s snowmobile, all-terrain vehicle and non-motorized trail system.
The umbrella organizations spearheading the coalition initiative are the Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations (CCSO), the Canadian Off-Highway Vehicle Distributors Council (COHV), and the Canadian Trails Federation (CTF). Through their affiliates across Canada, these parent bodies represent trail building, operating and maintenance organizations in every province and territory.

Eligible projects must be shovel ready and the club must have 50% of the funding on hand as the program is a 50/50 cost split. We will forward further details regarding application process as soon as they are available. You can also visit National Trails Coalition | NTC Canada for further information.
ABCSnow member clubs applying for NTC Trail Grant Funding, please forward your completed application to info@abcsnow.ca prior to July 31, 2014 as ABCSnow is facilitating the NTC application process with the BCSF on behalf of snowmobiler’s in British Columbia.
