5 400m, 6 minutes in March 1, /35
6 600m, 9 minutes in March 1, /35
7 800m, 12 minutes in March 1, /35
8 1km, 15 Min. Have to turn back March 1, /35
9 Leading Towards Classification: a short history March 1, /35
10 Year Accessibility Connection Action 2000 TrailPAQ/TrailsCanada DMSG Integrated Mapping AODA Proclaimed Ontario s Best Trails American Trails Award Accessibility Ed on Trails March 1, /35
11 Government Support OTS - Facilitate internet access to information on best practices in trail user accommodations and safety Encourage communities to inventory trails and identify gaps in provision for non-traditional users Encourage outreach initiatives to target nontraditional users March 1, /35
12 Convergence Ontario Trails Action Plan Access and Awareness Pillar Increasing Access to Trails: Explore options for a voluntary trail branding and classification system March 1, /35
13 Classification Context Ontario Trails Act, 2016 S.O. 2016, CHAPTER 8 SCHEDULE 1 Trail classification system TRAILS IN ONTARIO 6 (1) The Minister may establish a trail classification system. Compliance voluntary (2) Compliance with a trail classification system established under this section is voluntary. March 1, /35
14 80,000km of Trail in Ontario March 1, /35
15 Public Demand for Trails to be Classified Consistently Q: Which of the 80,000km is a good fit for my abilities, interests? March 1, /35
16 System Benefits It will create an Ontario brand and support the implementation of the Ontario Trails Strategy, Trails Action Plan and the Ontario Trails Act, 2016, toward a world-class trails system It will support the Trails of Distinction Program, launched in June 2017 The Ontario Trillium Trail classification will promote consistent messaging and trail experiences Trail users and non-users will be able to assess the right trail experience for them based on the classification system, which focuses on the characteristics of the trail, and other information provided March 1, /35
17 System Benefits Con t It will foster increased trail usage in Ontario including growth in trails tourism through Regional Tourism Organizations (RTOs) and the Destination Ontario All trails that are compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) will be identified with a accessibility identifier It will help trail managers to establish a consistent system for managing, maintaining and promoting trails March 1, /35
18 Parks Canada: Best in Class Model March 1, /35
19 Trails: Parks Canada and Ontario = Sustainability, Experience, Access and Use March 1, /35
20 Experts in the Field March 1, /35
21 Expert Panel Review March 1, /35
22 Highlights from Consultation Strong Support for: A classification model or overall structure and layered design including: The use of trail characteristics and their variability versus levels of difficulty as the basis for trail classification; and Individualized Trail Activity Guides per trail activity The Ontario Trillium Trails provincial brand potential symbology March 1, /35
23 Project Expectations Additional feedback is required (i.e. user groups specific to activity guides) Signage decals will be applied to existing signage Communications and educational considerations will be built-in Rigor will be applied from an accessibility lens and risk management perspective March 1, /35
24 Initial Discussion What symbols should be used? Use the established system, which is internationally recognized (i.e. by Parks Canada) but not consistently interpreted, and based on levels of difficulty and not trail characteristics? Will re-education work? Will others migrate to this system? Should the colour coding be maintained? Use another set of symbols (e.g. a trail related symbol with 1,2,3,4) which would be clearer from the outset but might add to the symbol clutter nationally and beyond? How well do the symbols apply to multi-use trails? March 1, /35
25 Parks Canada Experience: Easy-Difficult and Unrated March 1, /35
26 Ontario Trillium Trails Draft Framework The Framework includes all trails (i.e. land/water, motorized/ non-motorized and on and off-road trails) It provides 4 classes based on the typical trail characteristics ranging from Class 1, being the least variable trail route, to Class 4, being the most variable Trail classification may vary along the same route as its characteristics change from one trail segment to the next March 1, /35
27 OTT Draft Framework ONTARIO TRILLIUM TRAILS (OTT) Ontario s Trails Classification System The OTT is a trails classification system based on the variability of trail characteristics ranging from Class 1, as the least variable, to Class 4, as the most variable Trail users should refer to the Trail Classification Activity Guides, where available, for more specific trail characteristics by trail activity Trail classification may vary along the same route as its characteristics change from one trail segment to the next Trail classifications indicate the typical trail characteristics under usual conditions at the time of posting All users must recognize that the trail conditions could change from day to day, or in response to weather or significant environmental events TRAIL USER SUITABILITY Suitable for most users including families (e.g. no trail experience, spontaneous event) TYPCIAL TRAIL CHARACTERISTICS Trail is clearly visible and well-marked Expect minimal variability in the trail slope, elevation gain/loss, width/passage etc. Surface materials/conditions are usually consistent No natural or built obstacles on the trail TRAIL USER SUITABILITY Suitable for most users who have some basic trail experience, knowledge, skills and fitness TYPCIAL TRAIL CHARACTERISTICS Trail is clearly visible and well-marked at key access points Expect variability in the trail slope, elevation gain/loss, width/passage etc. Surface materials/conditions may be inconsistent May encounter natural and/or built obstacles on the trail TRAIL USER SUITABILITY Suitable for most users that have good trail experience, knowledge, skills and fitness TYPCIAL TRAIL CHARACTERISTICS Trail may not be clearly visible and may have limited markings beyond key access points Expect some challenging variability in the trail slope, elevation gain/loss, width/passage etc. Surface materials/conditions may be inconsistent May encounter major natural and/or built obstacles on the trail TRAIL USER SUITABILITY Suitable for most users who have extensive trail and navigation experience, knowledge, skills and fitness Rescue training recommended TYPCIAL TRAIL CHARACTERISTICS Trail may not be clearly visible and may have limited markings, if any Expect extreme and/or constant variability in the trail slope, elevation gain/loss, width/passage (including narrow passages) etc. Surface materials/conditions may be subject to extreme and/or constant change May encounter extreme natural and/or built obstacles on the trail March 1, /35
28 OTT Framework Con t TYPCIAL PREPARATION REQUIRED Supplies (e.g. water and nutritional snacks) Safety equipment appropriate to the activity (e.g. helmet, floating rope, sounding device etc.) Proper apparel (e.g. foot ware) Route mapping/awareness Seasonal and weather considerations ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SOURCES Refer to Ontario Trillium Trails Activity Guides, where available, for more classification information (e.g. trail length, width etc.) by type of trail activity Ontario Trillium Trails Activity Guides also provide additional sources of trail-specific information (e.g. links to trail organization websites), as available (e.g. route maps, apps, special preparation requirements, emergency services, access to amenities, accessibility for persons with disabilities etc.) Ontario Trails Council website: Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport website: ote: Pedestrian trails, that are compliant with the trail standard under the Design of Public Spaces in the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), will be signed ccording to the requirements of the act. TBD Note the symbols are not confirmed. Use of the Ontario Trillium logo is under consideration. March 1, /35
29 Symbology OTT Framework Con t March 1, /35
30 Activity Guides Each Guide will be specific to each trail activity Descriptions will be listed that allows a potential user to come to the trail experience prepared As the trail becomes more variable in terrain, elevation, etc. and there are less services, the classification moves up a level for that activity March 1, /35
