JOHN POWER CENTRE

OFSC Districts and Clubs,
 
In 1967, John Powers, founder of the OFSC, had a vision for a federation of snowmobile clubs working collaboratively to support the growth of snowmobiling through a network of trails that would make Ontario one of the best places in the world to enjoy the sport we all love.

 
To honour John Powers’ legacy, the Georgian Bay Snow Riders (District 8) are building a new 3,200 square foot meeting and maintenance facility on club-owned property situated directly on the second busiest trail in Ontario, in the same community where the OFSC started 55 years ago.

The new John Power Centre will serve not only the GBSR, but also the Orillia District Snowmobile Club as well. With a central location at 2060 Newton Street, in Victoria Harbour, this facility will be available for use by all ten clubs in the district, as well as the broader OFSC as needed. The John Power Center will provide the perfect location for meetings and training volunteers and staff, which is important to maintain the strength of the volunteer base.

Construction is set to begin in May, and through a great volunteer effort already underway, the lot has been cleared, with local contractors donating their time and equipment to build the facility. GBSR is now actively fundraising to secure donations of materials and funds to cover material costs and expenses that cannot be donated directly.

It is our hope that in dedicating this building to John’s vision, and in showing, yet again, what a group of committed volunteers can do that we will inspire youth and volunteers to continue to support this organization for generations to come.

POWERED BY PEOPLE
Past   Present   Future
Our ask to your club/association is any level of financial contribution to help us make this dream a reality. All clubs that donate will receive special recognition within the facility and on our website as a Friend of John Powers Centre.

We also ask that you help expand exposure to the community project by sharing with your membership and on social media. We would like to thank each and every one of you for your commitment to the vision of John Power, and the social and economic Powerhouse we have all created in the province of Ontario through the OFSC.

Support:
We are now at the next step in our fundraising process. We are hoping that you will support this project with a cash donation or sponsorship. All donations (e-transfer) and/or inquires can be made to gbsr77@gmail.com or send a cheque to Georgian Bay Snow Riders, P.O. Box 683, Midland Ontario, L4R 4P4.
 
Thank you all in advance,

Patrick Murray
President, Georgian Bay Snowriders
On Behalf of Team GBSR
