Parry Sound snowmobilers are frustrated and worried about the local Health Unit’s closure of the region’s trails.
Barrie Wilkinson, President of Parry Sound Snowmobile District 10, tells MyParrySoundNow; “It is frustrating because we have so few cases, and case numbers are looking good compared to provincial ones,”
“We see ourselves (Snowmobilers) as a fairly outdoor activity, and we are definitely frustrated by the fact that we are not able to get out there when some other amenities like the cross-country ski trails are open.” Wilkinson said, “It just doesn’t make a lot of sense to people in the snowmobiling community”

The trails aren’t ready to be opened, but snowmobile clubs across Parry Sound and Ontario are hard at work preparing for the upcoming season.
“The first thing we do this time of year is clearing brush and dead trees,” President and Governor for Parry Sound Snowmobile District 10 District Barry Wilkinson says. He adds that work started in September and will be an on-going process during the season. “This year we had a lot of damage in some areas because of the wind storms we had,” he says.
