While winter and snow is the last thing on most people’s minds, the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs is thinking ahead.
The organization says it is developing strategies to ensure the health and safety of its volunteers, landowners and riders during the upcoming snowmobile season.
Strategies to maintain and groom the trails include ramping up the OFSC Rider Advantage program to offer savings and incentives for riders, working with public health agencies to develop tools for trail operations and trail riding protocols for snowmobilers, connecting with all levels of government to deliver the best possible experience this winter, engaging stakeholders, enhance online systems and communication platforms and re-evaluating events, meetings and gatherings for the foreseeable future.
OFSC president, Paul Murray says the annual general meeting in September will be held online so that no one has to travel for a multi-day, in person meeting.
There is over 3, kilometres of trail to explore in Ontario, and these trails contributes up to $3.3 billion in economic activity annually.
