Dovercourt Recreation Association hasn't added a story.

In 2016, the SJAM Winter Trail began. Groomer Dave Adams thought that if we just press snow, we can create a place where people can get outdoors and come together. With your help, and lots of hard work, we have shown that urban grooming works. 

This season we are renaming the trail the Kichi Sibi Winter Trail, to honour the traditional Algonquin name for the great river we call home. This is an opportunity to rededicate our efforts to providing opportunities for all members of our community to get outdoors, and enjoy the winter. 

But we still need your help to make this happen.

 

Your donations allow us to:

  • Groom 27km of trail along the shores of the Kichi Sibi (Ottawa River)
  • Provide safe outdoor recreation that is free to access
  • Support our volunteer grooming team 
  • Improve the quality of grooming through equipment renewal
  • Work towards building a larger network of urban winter trails
  • Expand the reach of winter sport through outreach activities

We greatly appreciate all donations. Contributions greater than $25 will be eligible for a Tax Receipt thanks to the generous support of the Dovercourt Recreation Association. Last year the average donation was about $100. Private donations account for the largest portion of  our funding. 

We offer our community incredible value, with an estimated cost per user of $0.65 based on the most recent season's usage and budget figures. By comparison, day use fees at most XC ski centres are about $20. 

Your support for this trail continues to overwhelm us. We cannot do this without you!
