The buck starts here

OVCATA volunteer members OVCATA is a volunteer-run organization, with annual expenses of up to $4,000. We use the money for event organizing, managing a website, advertising, organizational registrations, and office services and supplies. In 2023, for instance, we organized the successful Cashing In On Cycle-Tourism conference that resulted in the formation of a working group to Trail Town development on the Algonquin Trail. Roads across Renfrew County have been upgraded for safety as a result of our work.

We hope you feel as we do that we're getting a lot back for having OVCATA as an organized voice for active transportation. Please participate and donate to help build a strong voice in the Valley for active transportation and cycling.
