DGATV was pleased to host a spring ride raising funds for the Markdale and District Food Bank on May 30th, 2026.
Riders were happy to raise $250 and 60lbs of non-perishable food items. DGATV’s Directors voted to match the funds for a total $500 donation to the food bank, which was presented in August.
DGATV thanks Riders, Wardens, Landowners and the Event Coordinators for a terrific day on the trails. We have a wonderful group of Volunteers and we couldn’t do it without YOU!
Stay tuned to our website and social media pages for upcoming ride information.
