gobills Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Long read, but sledding sure brings a ton of money in on a yearly basis. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomo Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Looks like sledding has a long way to go for gender equality... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that the results in that sport would be flipped 180 * in gender respondents 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Man Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Looks very positive to me, hopefully the data can be put to good use to get some funding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Ford is going to fund our sport, look at the slashing and hacking he has done already. I'm not happy with what he is doing but at least he has the kahunas to do what needs to be done. Many on here must remember Bob ray, he did the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcZEd382 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Kind of a Captain Obvious sort of study. Alot of us don't see snow or available trails anymore and must trailer hundreds of km away from home. Fuel, lodging and meals multiple times in a season. Ofsc should partner with 407ETR next season and get members a discount on transponder fees.

You don't apply for funding for snowmobiling, you apply for funding to promote gender equality in snowmobiling. (or new immigrants in snowmobiling, lgbtqlmnoprstuvwxyz persons - or equivalent - participation in snowmobiling etc. ) Various government departments must spend money in their budgets or lose what they have to spend the next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Thanks, Nunz! I always find the permit sales vs insured sleds data interesting. Glad the insurance bureau shares information. "The OFSC sold approximately 105,000 permits for Ontario trails in 2018‐2019. It is estimated that 43,000 snowmobiles were used without a trail permit. The Insurance Bureau of Canada confirmed that 148,000 snow vehicles were insured in 2018‐ 2019. This is an increase from 141,600 snow vehicles insured in 2013‐2014." So .. more sleds out there than during the prior study. We're also getting close to understanding how many more potential permit buyers there are (of the 43,000...how many fish, trap, sled on the back 40 or only traverse roads / crown land?).
