Safe, Ride Sober campaign in an ef- foit to save lives while promot- ing snowmobile safety. The province -wide effort to re- duce snowmobile accidents will expand during Snowmobile Safety Week February 4-11. The provincial campaign is spear- headed by the Ontario Snowmo- bile Safety Committee (OSSC), which draws on resources from provincial government minis- tries and agencies, private sector organizations as well as snow- mobile clubs and manufacturers. Club members will promote safe snowmobiling at special events across the province, in- cluding Snowfest in North Bay February 2-4, the largest snow- mobile event in Ontario. The Sled Smart Safety education Team, a key element of the OSSC's campaign strategy, will promote snowmobile safety in the North Bay area February 1-7 and in eastern Ontario at Cloyne, Mazinaw and at Winter- lude in Ottawa February 9-13. In addition, 595 LCBO stores across Ontario will display snowmobile safety posters and brochures during February in support of the Ride Safe, Ride Sober Campaign. Restaurants will also promote the campaign with placemats featuring safety messages. So far this winter, 20 people, all males, have died as the result of snowmobile mishaps in Onta- rio. Fifteen of the 20 men died as the result of collisions, while the other five victims lost 'their lives when their snowmobiles plunged through thin ice. Speed' and alcohol were factors in the majority of these collisions. Thirty-eight people lost their lives in snowtnobile accidents in Ontario last winter. "So many times this winter we have heard police say that snow- mobilers who died or were in- jured failed to negotiate a turn," Minister of Citizenship, Culture and Recreation Marilyn Mushin- ski said. "This indicates they were likely speeding beyond their ability to control their ma- chines. This combined with al- cohol consumption can be dead- ly. That's why we must continue to drive home the message, Ride Safe, Ride Sober." 'The messages contained in the campaign slogan are very clear. If you are planning to head out on your snowmobile, don't drink. Avoid travelling on lakes and rivers, stick to groomed trails, obey the speed limit and ride according to conditions, car- ry an emergency kit, wear a hel- met at all times and ride in day- light. These safety tips, if followed by everyone, would go a long way toward reducing the number of snowmobile mishaps dramatically.
