Minister Responsible for Transport Véronyque Tremblay was in Saint-Marc-des-Carrières this morning to announce the renewal of nearly $ 12.5 million in financial assistance for the snowmobile and ATV industry .

Minister Tremblay, accompanied by the MP for Portneuf, Michel Matte, made the announcement in the garage of the snowmobile club Poulamon. Quebec awards just over $ 6 million to 168 snowmobile clubs and $ 4.3 million to 119 quad clubs for equipment maintenance and purchase. The Quebec Federation of Quad Clubs receives $ 1.5 million for the safety and environment component.

The four snowmobile clubs and two ATV clubs operating in Portneuf will receive $ 206,000 for trail maintenance and equipment purchases. The two quad clubs will receive $ 118,000 and the four snowmobile clubs close to $ 88,000. The aid is distributed according to the number of members, the length of the trails to be maintained and the wealth of clubs, explained MP Michel Matte.

According to Mr. Matte, snowmobiling and quad biking are very important for Portneuf. He also announced that the trails at the Saint-Raymond snowmobile club are all open.

The assistance program's budget comes from the contribution of off-road vehicle owners when registering their vehicles. These amounts are then transferred to the Land Transportation Network Fund.
I missed this post. Thanks.

That's the example of how it can be done, and how it can work when there's some common sense and respect among the user groups and government.
