Snowmobile Registration

The City of Kenora's snowmobile and ATV committee is asking for council's support for proposed changes to the provincial trail permit system.

The committee wants the Ministry of Transportation to introduce snowmobile registration fees for District 17 of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs.

Councillor Wendy Cuthbert says the fees would do away with the trail permitting system.

The registration fees would be forwarded to the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs to be dispersed among District 17 snowmobile clubs to cover the cost of maintaining trails.

District 17 includes the communities of Kashabowie west to Thunder Bay and the Manitoba Border.
