Organizers say it will be a time-based ride that will coincide with the Coe Hill Wild West Weekend and the Maynooth Logging Games. It won't be a 'race.'

Snowmobile safety officers resigning in droves

"Earlier this week, with considerable fanfare, the OPP and OFSC unveiled a new STOP logo in Orillia.

But as Snowmobile Safety Week got underway in Ontario, there were a lot fewer STOP officers on the trails than there were at this time last year, says MacLeod.

MacLeod says 58 STOP officers have quit in recent months, leaving 75 STOP officers currently volunteering province-wide.

Sault Ste Marie has lost eight officers, with a combined 97 years of volunteer snowmobile enforcement, says MacLeod.

These officers used their own snowmobiles and they paid for their gas, maintenance, and trail pass purchases themselves, he said."
