well page 20-21 shows that they know how much we as sledders spend and surprising as it is they might see the benefits of the industry and might wish to support us in some small way in the future. Good to see positive instead of negative all the time

page 41 mentions off road use and restrictions of off highway vehicles confined to trails. Keep sharp, I think we may have a battle on our hands to keep areas open to sledders. Please take time to send in your comments and keep these areas open for you and fellow sledders.

pages 123 to 125 mention the possible expansion of Cataract Creek and Sibbald snowmobiling areas, please send in comments to support these proposals!
