The Manitoulin Snowdusters have groomed the local trails including the ones to Providence Bay. However, the trails need to be groomed a few times before they officially open. They need to ensure that there is a good base to be able to handle the sled traffic. Please refer to the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs’ website if you’re not sure what trails are open. https://trails.evouala.com/ofsc/#
Happy Birthday wishes are going out to Alicia McAllister and Bob Kay who both celebrate on January 28. Best wishes for you both.
