Two fatal snowmobile incidents over the weekend have the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) warning snowmobilers to stay off frozen waterways, while the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) urges them to stay off closed OFSC trails. "Our mild winter makes it particularly important for snowmobilers to regularly check the OFSC Interactive Trail Guide to get information about trail openings and closures. Snowmobilers are reminded that it is unlawful and unsafe to ride on closed OFSC trails and are encouraged to visit the OFSC website for other important information about what they need to do to enjoy a safe riding season." -- Lisa Stackhouse , Director, Marketing & Communications, OFSC

Winter weather conditions are forecasted in the coming days and we would like to remind motorists that adverse weather conditions put extra demands on you as a driver and on your vehicle’s performance.
