I will post this on the BC Snowmobile Federation Facebook site as well as our website bcsf.org to try and generate some emails for you. I will also forward along to the Executive to see if they have any contacts that can help you with this. Just a reminder to all the clubs in BC we are here to help you keep your riding areas accessible.

So
Sent one
Forester / catamount glacier is one of my favorite places to ride
Closure is always a step backwards
and pushes us to go further out in to untouched wilderness
the people who make these decisions have no idea what impact they do
to the kids of tomorow that will have to see these places from the hiway
with a fence in the ditch that says go no further
canada is not free

This is a proposed amendment to OPEN Catamount Glacier, not close. Maybe read it first, take a breather, then mass email people.

I heard this was a done deal last year. I think there are just some concerned folks out there so the government opens up the topic to the people for discussion/ comments, but in reality the comments won't change anything....

I deal with the rec officer(same one who deals with the sled areas) through the local mountain bike club and there has been no deal yet... at least no signed agreement.
