Executive Moves to Upgrade Hollywood Portage Trail

Scott Sorensen approached the executive with  a proposition that will help future rallies greatly by arranging a work crew to remediate the Hollywood Portage trail.

He identified four workmen from Intercity Toronto, through the daughter of John Muse,  that were willing to work for two days installing cedar logs on the Hollywood bypass/portage which was  in disrepair and actually quite dangerous.

For some that knew, the mud on the trail is so deep in some places that a person could easily sink hip deep into mud. Nails from the old boardwalk had become a hazzard.

For $800 the work was completed. That is $100 per person per day, to lay down the logs on the portage.



Scott also advised that the log that had drifted into the top eddy above the portage had been cut and removed as well.

This project was something the executive had discussed in the past as necessary but had difficulty mounting a work party.  Les Amis had the funds in their bank account, it fits  the organization's  mandate, and was a good collaborative effort with the Sorensens.

The executive agreed, and the initiative was approved.
