The bc government is CURRENTLY drafting regulations which will affect all sledders in BC for YEARS to come
Sledders Need an organised voice to help represent our interests regarding puplic land use.
You Need to know that there are POWERFULL well funded groups that would LOVE to BANISH our sport, at the mininum they would like to limit our access to the backcountry to further there own interests.
BC has a DISMALL membership base in relation to the actual number of sleds operating in the province.
That may not matter if our sport was not UNDER attack from other user groups whom are better funded or have other means of political support.
IF you or your friends have not joined a club or joined the BC association YOU SHOULD and help recruit other riders as well.
It is Not That Expencive.
up comming land use plans will be hard to reverse when enacted
SO HELP GIVE US A VOICE and get your sled buddies to pay some attention in the near future on these issues. at the least if they ride they should join a club which will do the work for you.

The review and comment period will run until July 6,
2004.
The plan encompasses the upper North Thompson and
Columbia Valleys between
Tete Jaune and Blue River.

The plan focuses on winter recreation management and
will establish winter
recreation management zones to enhance snowmobile
areas, create increased
certainty for the heliski industry, improved
opportunities for backcountry
skiing and other activities and improved recreation
management to protect
Mountain Caribou.
The draft plan will be of particular interest to winter
recreationists that
use the plan area.
The draft plan builds on and incorporates much of the
Valemount to Blue
River stakeholder agreement that was reached in March
2004.
Open House locations and dates and times:
Valemount: Holiday Inn - Tuesday, June 15, 2004

Thanks for posting this. It is all true. Fight for it or lose it. This is what I have been saying for years. Unless membership numbers increase we are in big trouble. RX FUN
