The importance of an organized
snowmobile education program is highlighted by the Newfoundland and
Labrador Tourism and Recreation Strategy which states: BE SLEDSMART AND AVOID ICE-RELATED SNOWMOBILING RISK FACTORS 1. Always ride sober.
Never drink and drive your snowmobile. THE SNOWMOBILE EDUCATION PROGRAM There are two aspects to the program. Educate the public on safe snowmobiling practices and to train people in various communities to deliver the safe snowmobiling message. This has been accomplished through officers of all RCMP detachments throughout our province. In support of this endeavour, education materials have been developed distributed to snowmobile dealers to all trainers as well as distribute with sales of snowmobiles. An awareness campaign through various forms of media (radio, television, and newsprint) has been implemented and PSA's developed. Snowmobiling on ice covered bodies of water - a safety video specific to the problems of snowmobiling on ocean ice has been developed to address the drowning problem in this province.
