Vote now to support funding for the Bruce Trail in this contest:
Here are the details, from an email from the Beaver Valley Bruce Trail Club:
Genevieve Plank a member of several Bruce Trail Clubs has put forward a proposal which we would ask our members to support by simply casting their vote.
Aviva Canada, an insurance company, is currently running a competition and soliciting ideas on how to rejuvenate communities. As far as can be determined, the 3rd round of the competition ends this Saturday, November 29. However, ideas can only move forward if they are voted on by the public. Up to $500,000 is up for grabs.
The idea just submitted will benefit the Bruce Trail and the nine clubs. Under the “Big Idea” category, it is proposed that $250,000.00 (the top prize that can be awarded in this category) be donated to the BTC Land Acquisition Program. Under the “Medium Size” idea, it is proposed that $2,000 be donated to each of the nine BTC clubs to provide operational funds for hike leaders to take high school students on the trails and pick up garbage from the trails. This latter idea is more involved, and you can read about it in more detail if you click on the URL (shown below) that has been assigned to this submission by Aviva.
However, these ideas will require the support (e.g., on-line votes) of as many people as possible to qualify for the semi-finals.
