Snowmobiler Code of Ethics

Follow this code of ethics, and you will do your part to make snowmobiling a respectable, fun and safe winter recreation.

       1.   I will be a good sportsperson and conservationist. I recognize that people judge all snowmobilers by my actions.
             I will use my influence with other snowmobilers to promote responsible conduct.
       2.   I will not litter trails or camping areas. I will not pollute lakes or streams. I will carry out what I carried in.
       3.   I will not damage living trees, shrubs or other natural features.
       4.   I will respect other people’s property and rights.
       5.   I will lend a helping hand when I see someone in distress.
       6.   I will make myself and my snowmobile available to assist in search-and-rescue operations.
       7.   I will not interfere with or harass hikers, skiers, snowshoers, people who are ice fishing or participating in other
             winter sports. I will respect their rights to enjoy recreation facilities.
       8.   I will know and obey all federal, provincial and local rules regulating the operation of snowmobiles in areas 
             where I use my snowmobile.
       9.   I will not harass wildlife. I will avoid areas posted for the protection of wildlife.
      10.  I will not drive where snowmobiles are prohibited.
