The Off-Highway Vehicle Infrastructure Fund (OHVIF) committee and Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage (CCTH) have collaborated to simplify the process for groups to apply for capital grants for trail development and improvements. This unified approach allows applicants to apply to multiple funders using a single application, reducing administrative burden while supporting strong trail projects across the province.

Off-Highway Vehicle Infrastructure Fund (OHVIF) provides funding for OHV trail and riding area development, supports planning and design associated with these facilities and helps maintain OHV accessible infrastructure. Projects are eligible to receive up to 50% of total project cost, usually not exceeding $50,000 in one fiscal year, with exceptional funding requests considered case-by-case.

Recreational Trail Expansion Program (RTEP) assists municipalities and not-for-profit organizations in developing new recreational trails, expanding recreational trails, and making capital upgrades to existing infrastructure. Projects are eligible for up to 2/3 of total capital costs to a maximum of $150,000, with trails required to be open to the public.

The process begins with an Expression of Interest (EOI) form, followed by one-on-one intake meetings for project review and guidance. Project proposals are reviewed by the OHVIF committee and/or CCTH, who provide assistance throughout the application process.
