Toronto Sportsman Show
Education, Education, Education, is one of the OF4WD’s main corner stones. The federation volunteers spend countless hours in educating people with in the 4 wheel drive community. However many do not know about the time spent educating people and groups external to the 4 wheel drive community such as other trail user groups, general public, government organizations and youths.
Education of Non-four wheel drive trail users;
The OF4WD attends many public events such as the Toronto Sportmans Show, RPM Show, multiple dealership and club show and shines all with the purpose of educating the general public about the 4WD recreational sport. Many people are not aware that this sport is going strong in the province of Ontario and how 
impeccable its safety record is. With such a great record and easy access to public land trails people from all walks of life can enjoy this great past time. Its a full family oriented sport, whether you are a young adult looking for some adventure, a retired individual or someone with accessibility concerns, the 4WD sport is for you.
Educating Government and other organizations is just as important. Our volunteers attend many meetings revolving around trail use in this province where they consistently educate others about the sport. The 4WD recreational sport isn’t what you see on TV with fast moving race machines, its a slow moving, safe, family oriented sport with thousands of people enjoying the beautiful public lands of Ontario. In the same notion the federation discusses how we are addressing trail maintenance concerns, problematic areas, and what we are doing to prevent damage to the public lands.
Education of four wheel drive trail users, new and old;
Education of people with-in the 4WD community is what we do best. Our community is full of very knowledgeable people who dedicate their time to help others with in the sport. Again, our community has people from every walk of life which brings an expansive experience range to draw from.
