SUMMERSIDE, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND - Prime Minister Stephen Harper today received the President’s Award from the Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations (CCSO). The Prime Minister received this award, the highest honour granted by the association, for delivering on his commitment to expand Canada’s network of national trails.
“I am honoured to receive this award from an organization that appreciates and understands the importance of conserving Canada’s natural heritage so it can be enjoyed by future generations,” said the Prime Minister. “Investing in Canada’s national trails helps create jobs today. It also opens up new opportunities for tourism businesses and allows more Canadians to enjoy the Canadian countryside in a safe and responsible manner.”

(Thunder Bay, ON February 6, 2009): Across Canada, snowmobilers have been doing their part to keep nature beautiful for more than 40 years. Now, the Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations (CCSO) is bringing snowmobilers together by launching the first National Snowmobiling Environment Month, February 2009.
National Snowmobiling Environment Month celebrates a good news story. Today’s clean and advanced technology snowmobiles run more efficiently, effectively and quieter than ever before. They also benefit Mother Nature by significantly reducing emissions and virtually eliminating smoke and smell. In fact, modern snowmobile engines produce 98% fewer hydrocarbons and 94% less sound than older sleds. Overall, snowmobiles account for only a small fraction of all the motor fuel burned annually in Canada.

It’s been cold and, yes, this has been a great winter snowmobiling season for most of us. The snow in most of North America fell early and allowed many trails and riding areas to be open the first week in December 2008. The snow stayed through most of the winter with a few expected meltdowns, but generally speaking the snowmobiling conditions have been excellent. I just received a note from my friend in Sweden and he reports the snow cover and snowmobiling season in Scandinavia is fantastic and people are enjoying the winter snowmobiling in Northern Europe.
