Huron County Council is moving
ahead to the next phase of planning
for the Guelph to Goderich (G2G)
trail lease proposal.
Council decided, at its June 12
Committee of the Whole meeting, to
direct staff to further investigate and
report back on a number of issues
outlined in the report presented to
council on June 12. The report was
prepared by tourism co-ordinator
Cindy Fisher and project manager
Rebecca Rathwell.
In Huron County, Fisher told
councillors, the trail will run through
Walton, Blyth, Auburn and
eventually reach the Menesetung
Bridge.
To further the process along,
Fisher told councillors that a public
meeting is being planned for the late
fall, where she hoped several
councillors, along with Warden
George Robertson, would be in
attendance and adjacent landowners
would be invited.
Fisher told councillors that the
trail is a great opportunity for
economic development throughout
Huron County, but Ashfield-
Colborne-Wawanosh’s Ben Van
Diepenbeek felt a large portion of
the public was not being included
because ATVs were proposed to be
forbidden from the trail.

policed, Van Diepenbeek said, there
are no issues with ATVs sharing the
trail with walkers and bikers.
“If it’s well groomed, the trail can
be as good as anything else,” Van
Diepenbeek said. “I think it should
be looked at.”
Councillors were also concerned
about participation at the Huron
County level. One councillor noted
that a previous public meeting was
