Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association Volunteers Maintain Trail Network

Mr. Keisig: — What a great winter. Snow blanketed virtually the whole province, providing much-needed moisture to our worldclass agricultural producers, Mr. Speaker. This snow also provides a unique recreational opportunity. There is no better way to enjoy the outdoors, Mr. Speaker, than on the back of a snowmobile.

The Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association has been around for over 50 years. It is the umbrella organization representing 65 local snowmobile clubs that groom, maintain, and build all of the 10 600 kilometres of trail that cross this great province. These trails allow someone to travel from the southeastern part of the province, where my colleague serves the great constituents of Cannington, to the Northwest, where my other colleague serves the great people of Athabasca. Volunteers maintain this trail network and all Saskatchewan residents genuinely appreciate their efforts. These snowmobile trails are enjoyable and create millions of tourist dollars and all the economic spinoffs that come with it in rural Saskatchewan.

Thank you to all local club members, landowners, and volunteers for all their work, along with mother nature, creating an enjoyable way to spend some great family time outdoors. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
