Bridge Sponsorship

VMUTS (a group of volunteers working together to maintain a not-for-profit
organization), we would like to take this opportunity to update you on the huge project
we are trying to undertake in 2025. VMUTS believes that in order to stay a vital part of
the North Bay and Mattawa area tourism you must continually improve. If we don’t,
some other group will, and we will lose the tourism that we have created.
Trail #70 has been closed at Antoine Creek and Francis Creek due to the bridges being
removed for approximately 20 years now. Well after a five-year exercise with the
Ministry, we have finally received a work permit to build two new bridges.
To meet ministry standards, the bridges are expensive. The total cost will be in the
$400,000 range. VMUTS can do some of this cost from the support we get from permit
sales, fundraising events, municipalities and support from OFATV. However, we are in a
major fundraising mode to achieve this goal.

AS A MAJOR FUNDRAISER WE ARE ASKING GROUPS, BUSINESSES,
ORGANIZATIONS OR INDIVIDUALS TO SPONSOR ONE FOOT OF BRIDGE FOR A
COST OF $500.  This will be a one-time deal; no renewal will be asked.

VMUTS will be placing a sign (12” x 12”) on the bridge engraved with your name
or statement (must be non offensive) with a maximum of 50 characters.

If you are willing to support our project, please visit our website.

Thanking you in advance,

The Fundraising Committee
