President, volunteer at Upper Canada Equestrian Association
December 2010 - December 2012In 1982, Joan Gay, Jackie Sentineal, Nicky Aitkens, and Ellen Campbell formed the Upper Canada Trail Riders Club which in 1990 became incorporated as UPPER CANADA EQUESTRIAN ASSOCIATION. We owe a great debt to their initiative and foresight that formed the Upper Canada Heritage Trail and for the well managed organization we have today. Our Mandate: 1) To establish safe horseback-riding trails throughout the Niagara Peninsula. 2) To develop, expand, improve and preserve existing public trails. 3) To promote the proper and responsible use of public trails. 4) To give trail riders a safe place to ride in harmony with other users. 5) To call the attention of local, regional and provincial governments to the need for the preservation, improvement and expansion of public trails. 6) To do all such acts that are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objects with the philosophy that public recreational trails should be multi-purpose with equestrian privileges. With the pressure of population expansion, there is an increasing need for inexpensive recreational outlets in the peninsula, therefore, it is important to preserve public lands which can provide trails for future generations while the land is still publicly owned.
