School of Trails
How would you like to major in trails at college? Where do I sign up? Since I’ve already got my quota of degrees, it’s too late for me. But if you’re interested in a trails education program, the Ontario Trails Council has just the syllabus for you.
Ontario Trails Training and Education Classes
Kudus to the folks at Ontario Trails for developing a recreational trails education program that contains a series of courses geared toward improving the knowledge and skills of trail professionals and trail volunteers who are interested in the field of trail design, maintenance and operations. Some examples of the courses they offer include:
- Trail Construction and Maintenance
- Trail Design
- Trail Law and Risk Management
- Trail Legislation
- Trail Marketing and Promotion
- Trail Safety
- Trail Volunteering
The courses listed above are only half of the ones available through the Ontario Recreational Trails Education Program. The courses are offered as standalone classes, as part of a specialty package or as a complete trails education program. The Ontario Trails Council has worked in conjunction with the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Ontario Parks Association and Algonquin College to be able to provide this wonderful program of trail training. The program is even able to offer some on-line learning opportunities as part of their overall course offering. For a complete list of courses and course descriptions, visit the OntarioTrails website. Visit the Ontario Trails course calendar for information on when classes are offered.
