THE USER -PAY TRAIL PERMIT SYS I EM All OFSC trails in Ontario operate under the user -pay system whereby each sled must cesplay a valid trail permit to be allowed on the trail. The annual sale of trail permits generates lands required by OFSC clubs for grooming operations, equipment maintenance and repair, equipment purchase, new trail development, trail upgrade and improvement, operator wages, gas, oil, insurance, OFSC operations and other ongoing costs incurred to keep groomed snowmobile trails open and safe all winter long so you can have great riding whenever you want it, anywhere in the province .The OFSC trail permit is Ontario's best winter recreational value! BUY WHERE YOU RIDE Its very important that you buy your trail permit from the dub whose trails you ride the most. This is because a significant portion of each club's annual revenues carte from the money they keep from permits sold to their own riders. So i4 you buy in one place, but do most o4 your snowmobiling in dnother leg. at the cottage), you are actually contributing very little to the cost of maintaining the trails you ride. You give the dub your traffic. but not your money. So please, buy where you ride. TRESPASSING Snowmobiling on OFSC trails without a perms is not only untair and inconsiderate of those who are paying their own way or those who are working so hard to maintain great trails tor your riding pleasure, but It can also be in violation of the Trees 10 Property Act and subject to charges and lines Police forces, conservation officers and OFSC wardens regularly patrol Ontario trails.
