This land use privilege is crucial to the existence of the snowmo- bile trails which provide many social, recreational and economic benefits to our entire province. Without the continuing cooperation of these unselfish friends of snowmobiling, the quality of winter life throughout our area would be signifi- cantly diminished. • We ask everyone in Ontario, but especially snowmo- bilers and those who benefit directly from snowmo- biling, to say a special thanks to our landowners for the use of their property again this season.
