BC NDP MLA Harwinder Sandhu says trail users in the North Okanagan will see improvements for off-road vehicles and snowmobiles
VERNON- BC New Democrat MLA Harwinder Sandhu says that people who use off-road vehicle trails in will see improvements thanks to funding for local snowmobile associations.
“The Okanagan is home to a strong outdoor recreation community, with opportunities to enjoy sports and activities throughout every season,” said Harwinder Sandhu, MLA for Vernon-Lumby. “We’re proud to support these two local snowmobile associations and help strengthen the experiences they provide for residents and visitors alike.”
Two local snowmobile associations are receiving funding:
-
The Lumby Mabel Lake Snowmobile Association is receiving $10,500 for their Park Mountain Chalet Solar and Tech Program
-
The Vernon Snowmobile Association is receiving $13,692 for trail brushing at the Trinity Recardo Rec Site.
This project is one of 24 receiving funding through the provincial government’s Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) Trail Fund. Projects include building and maintaining trails or promoting safe and responsible use among riders.
The fund is supported by ICBC off-road vehicle registration fees across the province. Since its beginning in 2017, more than $2.5 million has supported 184 projects throughout the province.
