BRP To donate $1 million to snowmobile clubs
BRP brings back the Ski-Doo Club Support Program for the fourth consecutive year, donating an estimated CA$1 million to North American snowmobile clubs for trail maintenance and development. For each snowmobiler submitting a certificate at their Ski-Doo dealership, BRP will donate $10 to their snowmobile club, regardless of the brand of snowmobile they own.
This initiative runs from September 1 to November 15, so visit the ski-doo.com website and get started! Please help BRP help OUR CLUB by participating in this program and reaching the maximum Club benefit. Every dollar counts and gives us more revenue to maintain the best trails in District 1 !
Stay On Trail - Do Not Trespass
Over the past few years, we have experienced problems with snowmobilers departing their home in the urban and developed areas to get to the OFSC trails
Please use Park and Ride areas noted on our home page. Sledding down the road to go to restaurants or other destinations is not permitted in urban areas under the Ottawa bylaws unless there is an official club trail. The Orleans area is being built up and the new residents have been complaining about the noise and in some cases snowmobilers are trespassing on private properties.
Snowmobilers must abide by the local bylaws and must respect private properties by not trespassing. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of respecting private property and our landowner property. When snowmobilers do not stay on an OFSC prescribed trail, they are risking the chance of that landowner rescinding their permission for OFSC to use their property.
Your CRSC representatives continuously negotiate and resolve these types of matters with city enforcement and our landowners. Please respect their land so that we can continue to ride the trails. We must continue to minimize our impact on the urban residents in order to preserve our trails for future use. So please stay on the prescribed OFSC trail and respect sensitive areas!
