February 2007... Golf Course Warning:

                                            We have received a call from Mountain View Golf Course advising that some people are snowmobiling on

                                            the golf course this winter.  Please Stay Off the local golf courses as riding can cause damage to the tees,

                                            fairways, and greens.

 
                                           A lot of work goes into maintaining a golf course and any extra damage caused by winter miss-use can cause

                                           many problems for both the employees and golfers.  Also Snowmobilers can quickly earn a bad reputation if  

                                           seen riding on the courses.  We do not appreciate people damaging our groomed trails and therefore should

                                           respect others in their activities as well.

                                                      

                                                                                                                                          

January 2007... Safety Message from Shell Canada
                                      

                                       People sometimes fuel snowmobiles inside covered trailers or vehicles, which can contain multiple
                                       machines.  It's unsafe to refuel any vehicle or container in an enclosed area for the following reasons:

                                            - Fire codes require attendants to observe all fueling activity to ensure safe fuel handling and to intervene
                                               if a problem such as a spill or fire occurs.  Attendants cannot monitor refueling if a customer is inside an    

                                               enclosed trailer or vehicle.

                                            - Gasoline vapours are highly flammable, and if confined inside an enclosed trailer or vehicle, can be

                                               ignited by static electricity or other ignition sources.  If this happens, customers could be trapped inside
                                               the enclosed space with no easy escape.

                                            - Inhaling gasoline vapours in an enclosed space is a health hazard.
