Snowmobilers are the latest victims of the COVID lockdown as local Health Unit Medical Officer of Health Dr. Jim Chirico has ordered all Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs’ (OFSC) trails, and trails utilizing Crown Land in the district to close effective Thursday January 21, at 12:01 a.m.

Trails will be shut down for the duration of the Stay-at-Home Order and will be reassessed at that time. This closure is done under the Medical Officer of Health’s ability to increase restrictions within their own district.

A news release from the Health Unit says  Chirico deems it "reasonable and necessary" to close the trails which affects the entire district served by the North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit I"n order to decrease or eliminate the risk to community health presented by COVID -19."

“We have been told to stay home and we need to do this," says Chirico in the release. "I have received many complaints about people travelling from other districts to use the local snowmobile trails, thus putting our district at risk of COVID-19. The OFSC recommends that snowmobilers avoid trailering and travelling to destinations that are outside their health unit region to snowmobile, but people have not taken the direction seriously

I get that.

Who says I am giving Ford a pass? I don't like it anymore than you or others do but if you can't see the liberal idiocy/agenda behind this, then you have your blinders on. 

Ontario ski hills closed, Open in Quebec, Ontario closes sledding, open everywhere else. Many provinces have had far more lax/lenient shut downs than Ontario.

To claim this is because of the Trudeau government is laughable. It is Ford incompetence and cowardice, nothing more.

Ford has been a disaster.  I can not vote for him again after this fiasco.  We have been the worst province bar none.

What's next? Are you going to tell me the Dems didn't use Covid as a tool to help oust Trump and that MSM didn't influence people's voting decisions either?

Tell me, what province influenced the last federal election the most and was a major player in insuring Trudope got a minority gov't? 

This may backfire on Ford, I'm not sure, but if you don't think Ontario has the largest amount of Liberal snowflakes, then again, you have your blinders on.

Now people are saying fine I'll drive to sudbury now   then those trails will be closed.

 

This is the closest to agreeing with you I've ever come.

The world, or at least the snowmobiling season must be coming to an end.
