Good to Know ...

Damaged grasslands reporting:

Some of you are concerned about the ecologically sensitive grasslands that we have around the Lake, and wish to know who to contact about areas that may need repair.

The best way is through the reporting line which a person can do by phone or online (1 877-952-7277 toll-free (or #7277 on a cellphone)/ https://forms.gov.bc.ca/industry/report-a-natural-resource-violation/

The information is passed to the assigned triaging officer and an officer will be assigned if necessary.

Thank you for being aware of how important it is to look after our natural resources!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you have a business, particular skill set or talent that you would like to make available to other members of the club?  We would love to know about it! We are trying to create a list of skills to enable us to use our own resources to help with club or members’ tasks. We would rather pay our own members for services instead of paying travel costs for someone to come from outside the 70 Mile House area. We feel this will help build stronger ties of community within the club, and add a greater sense of ownership to our wonderful region.  If you would like to be included in this directory, please reply to  grlksnowmobileclubinfo@gmail.com  with the following information:


Name:
Contact Info:
Type of Goods or Services:

For example, we are looking for someone with a backhoe to help smooth out some of the trail leaving from the club house cattle gates.

A special thank you to Gerry Goosen, who so generously donated his time, effort, materials, and skill to re-install our Clubhouse information sign. As you may know, the tree that the sign was hanging on finally became unstable. It was decided to put it on posts, so there should be no issues in the future.

THANKS GERRY!

______________________________

Club sponsored  rides are finished for this season. Thank-you to all the club members who came out for the rides! From our club house base we covered 2500 kms of terrain from Clinton to 100 Mile and from the Marble Mountains to the Bonaparte River.   See you next season!!

Snowmobile Safety:

  • We often get calls from people who become stuck or lost out on the trails and beyond. Keep in mind that you need to go prepared, in case it happens to you. The snowmobile club will try to assist if possible, but please note that this is not a given. It will depend upon what, where, when, and who is available to go out. We are not trained or equipped for rescue operations. Sometimes your best bet may be to call Cariboo Search and Rescue 250-395-3210 or police. Here is a minimal checklist of how you can prepare:
  • Never ride alone!
  • Leave a route plan with someone at home, and stick to it.
  • Have a collapsible snow shovel with you in case you need to dig your sled out.
  • Take your fully charged cell phone with you, and extra power for it if you can.
  • Take snacks and water
  • Take a flashlight (Not your phone).
  • Have the ability to make a fire.
  • Have an emergency heat blanket in case you are stuck overnight.
  • Remember your GPS if you have one.
  • Put the Search and Rescue and other emergency phone numbers into your phone.

We would like to invite members of the Snowmobile club and a guest, if you have someone in mind,  to the November Snowflake Potluck. The doors will be open at 5.  A few games are planned, along with a raffle, so twoonies and twenties and anything in between might be needed!!  We would love to see lots of wonderful food and of course, the bringers of the food, for an evening of reconnecting and hopefully a wee bit of fun.
We will have a sign in sheet for guests in order to help the club as the members review the guest policy. There will be a donation jar for guests to help with the costs.
Your Nov. 19th conveeners, Sue and Diane. Set up for this Event will be on Thursday the 17th at @ 10am.

Do what’s right, not what’s easy.

Website Update

January 8, 2018 | Author

Hi everyone,

There has been some problems with the links to the posts going to “404 page not found”.

That should be fixed now for future emails.

I’ve also installed a new calendar for future events. There was some compatibility issues with the old one.

If anyone has any problems, please reply to my admin email.

Thanks,

Larry Messaros
