April 7, 2020 - COVID-19 Update

Hi everyone. Here is a short update on what’s going on for VBSD. 

We will be postponing our AGM until it is safe to do so as per Manitoba Public Health Officials. And email will be sent in advance to all members. 

We hadn’t yet officially announced this event, but unfortunately we are cancelling our Bud, Spud and Rib fundraiser for now, due to COVID-19, but will be working with the Birchwood Motor Hotel on securing a future date for our fundraiser. We had also scheduled several Thursday evening meat draws, but those are also temporarily cancelled. 

As always, for current updates please follow up on our website or Facebook: VBSnowdrifters

The VBSD thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you all again once it is safe to do so.

Please stay safe and take care of yourself and family.

Sincerely,

Barbra Kania, President

2020 Club Ride - 36 riders @ Elk Island

I wanted to thank everyone who participated in our second annual club ride and wind-up at Elk Island. From riding the trails to donating wood and cooking/supplying the lunch I thank you. It was a great time!! Seeing 36 sleds on the trail for a club ride and everyone coming to Elk Island for the wind-up makes all the paperwork, financials, groomer and trail maintenance totally worth it! 😊👍🏻 It’s our members and volunteers that makes us the club we can all be proud of! Also it was great to see the next generation of snowmobilers with Oliver and Emma attending too.
Thanks again and see you at our next meeting March 14 at 10 am the Birchwood meeting room or our AGM at the end of April TBA

Urgent Alert - Stay off ice

‼️Urgent Alert‼️

Riders,

No Snowmobile trails within the Victoria Beach Snow Drifters Trail System are open.

Please stay off lakes, rivers and other waterways due to thin ice. There has been numerous vehicles, ATVs and Snowmobiles that have gone through the ice this year.

Please wait until trails are open and waterways are deemed safe to be on before you go out.

Remember we only sign and maintain our Snoman Approved trails. We do not manage or mark any waterways unless an approved trail.

Safety is of the utmost importance. Ride only when it’s safe to do so.

Please continue to review our website and Facebook page for updates on when our trails are open.

Thank you,
