West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association Announces 2011 Landowner Appreciation Draw Winners
As the board of directors of the West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association gear up for another winter of fun on the trails, they are pleased to announce the winners of the 2011 landowner appreciation draw.
Landowners form the backbone of organized snowmobiling in Ontario. Without their commitment and generosity, much of the 34,000 km. Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Club’s trail system would not be possible. Landowners receive no compensation, so in this sense, they too, are an integral part of the voluntary system that makes organized snowmobiling work in Ontario.
First prize in this year’s draw, sponsored by Ward 5 Councillor El-Chantiry and Valley Rent Rite in was a Husqvarna Model 445 chainsaw with a retail value of $469.99. The lucky winner was Doug Craig of Deer Run Rd. in Pakenham. Second prize, also from Valley Rent Rite was a DeWalt cordless hammer-drill with a retail value of $249.99 which went to the Rick Craig of Diamondview Rd.
Third, fourth and fifth prizes were gas certificates from Barrs Service Centre in Pakenham, Nicoll’s Ultramar in Woodlawn and Darvesh’s Store in Kinburn. Winners were Peter Nanne, Waba Rd. and Tom Beaubien of Galetta Sd. Rd. and Luc Menard of Dunrobin Rd.
Sixth through Thirteenth received a $50 gas card courtesy of Petro-Canada, awarded to the following landowners: Gord Nesbitt, Bill Robinson, Arden Strong, Bill Ryan, Ron Lindsay, Stanley Cavanagh and Jeff Hunt. The balance of our twenty winners received a $20 gift certificate from Home Hardware. These go to Claude Proc, Tom O’Rourke, Bill Hackett, Robert Copeland, Jim Stevenson, Don Miller and Bruce Hudson.
On behalf of all of our W.C.S.T.A.I. members the board congratulates the winners and thanks all of the area landowners that make our local trail network possible.
2012 Permits Now Available
Prices for the 2011-2012 seasonal permits have been held at last year’s levels; $200 before December 1st and $250 after. Classic permits (1997 model year or earlier) remain at $125 and are available all year. Local outlets are listed at https://www.wcstai.com or, for the ultimate in convenience you can order on-line at http://www.ofsc.on.ca (note: classic permits are only available on-line – check either of these web addresses for the details).
West Carleton trails are still closed – however, we have started packing our trails and will continue this and hope to get the trails to LIMITED next week.
We’re taking full advantage of the unusually warm December weather to clear some new trails. If you’d like to help us make this season the best ever, please go to our volunteers section and see how you can help!
Hi Everyone,
So far still no snow and still no frost in the ground. We need to be patient and we hope that the weather forecast is right, lots of snow in January. So get your snowmobile ready, buy a permit and the renewal sticker so that you are good to go out when the snow arrives.
Thanks,
Greg

The 2011 Annual General Meeting (AGM) for the West Carleton Snowmobile Trails Association will be held on Wed. October 26th at The Sports Bar above the W. Erskine Arena in Carp. We encourage everyone to attend – in fact this year, WCSTA sweat shirts will be given to AGM attendees! Elections for club executive and board of directors will be held. Permit holders and club members may be nominated. This is an excellent opportunity to get involved, or just learn a bit more about the club and opportunities to get involved. We hope to see you there!
We would like to thank the countless landowners, volunteers, permit holders and supporters of the West Carleton Snowmobile trails for making this another great snowmobile season. Despite mother nature challenging us with a mixed bag of weather this year, we’ve had feedback that our trails were in possibly the best condition in years. With your support, we are committed to trying to make even more improvements for the 2011/2012 snowmobile season!
