Regina Saskatchewan - The snow-covered landscape may be enticing to some
snowmobile enthusiasts and to those interested in taking up the activity.
Snowmobile Safety Week is planned for next week and this year the focus is railway safety. The association is partnering with the
Canadian Pacific Railway's Operation Lifesaver Program to offer courses on rail safety.
Saskatchewan has more railway crossings than any other province in Canada and this is also a leading cause of snowmobile
fatalities across North America.
The presentations are free. For information on the railway presentation or the safety week people can contact the Saskatchewan Safety
Council at 757-3197, CPR - Operation Lifesaver (306) 693-5473, or the Saskatchewan Snowmobile Safety
Association at 729-3500.
