Snoman unveiled a new, colourful specialty licence plate at its fourth annual congress on Oct. 24 and 25 in Winnipeg. The plate will be available at Autopac agents throughout the province beginning Nov. 3.
In other business, Alan Butler will return as president, with Sylvain Paquet as vice-president, Albert Wyborn as treasurer and Ernie Smelski continues as past-president. On Oct. 25 workshops were held focusing on generational leadership, club governance and safety-related topics such as trail signing and grooming.
“The day was filled with educational materials and provided a great opportunity for Snoman club members to interact with presenters and gather information to take back to their local areas,” says Snoman’s executive director Yvonne Rideout.
On the morning of Oct. 25 the province of Manitoba and Snoman Inc. proudly revealed a new specialty licence plate that celebrates the organization’s dedication to safe and environmentally responsible snowmobile trails. Minister Andrew Swan was joined by Butler to unveil the new Snoman plate which will cost $70, with $30 of that going to Variety, the children’s charity. During the evening, Big Daddy Tazz auctioned some Snoman licence plates (with the proceeds going to Variety) which resulted in $3,300 raised.
“We are pleased that our clubs support the charity which nurtures children of all abilities in Manitoba.”
At the annual awards banquet, recognition was given to clubs for reporting during the season as well as the excellence awards. During the evening Big Daddy Tazz unveiled Snoman’s children’s book A Day on the Trails: Brrrt Shivers Learns Safe Sledding.
“This story book focuses on safety aspects and guides one through an adventure of a day on the snowmobile trails,” says Rideout.
Tazz also auctioned off some hard cover limited edition books; soft cover books are available for purchase at the Snoman office and McNally Robinson.
Snoman Inc. is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing strong leadership and support to its member clubs to develop safe and environmentally responsible snowmobile trails to further the enjoyment of organized snowmobiling in Manitoba.
