The Ontario Snowmobile Safety Committee (O.S.S.C.) has produced a new 12-page brochure entitled The Family Guide to Safe and Responsible Snowmobiling. This resource contains important safety information for trail riders including tips on dealing with hazardous winter conditions, dressing right, winter survival, and night riding. It also contains the important message that snowmobiling and alcohol don't mix.

During the month of February, LCBO stores across the province are displaying copies of this brochure, together with an accompanying snowmobile safety poster.

For copies of the brochure, contact the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (tel. 705-739-7669; email info@ofsc.on.ca) or call the LCBO Infoline at 1-800-ONT-LCBO (or Elizabeth Kruzel, LCBO Social Responsibility Coordinator at 416-864-6820).
