Go Snowmobiling’ Award for 2012 NBFSC wins Canadian ‘Go Snowmobiling’ Award for 2012 At the 44 th International Snowmobile Congress the New Brunswick Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (NBFSC) was recognized and awarded as the Canadian winner of the “Go Snowmobiling, Take a Friend “campaign for 2012. All Provinces in Canada and States in the USA were eligible to win respective national awards. The NBFSC were awarded as the best in Canada because of “their total integration of the Go Snowmobiling lifestyle into all aspects of organized snowmobiling in New Brunswick”, announced Ed Klim, President of the International Snowmobiler Manufacturers Association (ISMA) to the Congress’ 500 delegates from Canada, United States, Sweden and Russia. “Go Snowmobiling ” is the brainchild of ISMA and first began in 2008. New Brunswick has participated in and integrated the program into our communications from the very beginning; We have “ Gone Snowmobiling” ever since. In 2008 we partnered with the City of Bathurst’s Tourism Department, Meredith Caissie and local Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA), Brian Kenny to host our very first “Go Snowmobiling” Ride in New Brunswick. We spent an entire day, beginning with a local breakfast, greetings and a welcome from Bathurst Mayor Stephen Brunet and MLA, Brian Kenny. The Hon. Roland Hache’, Minister of Environment for New Brunswick joined us to ride Bathurst’s snowmobile trails with many community dignitaries that afternoon as we promoted the new message. We hosted two “Go Snowmobiling” rides in 2009. On our first ride we were honored to have the privilege to ride one evening with not only our Minister of Justice, Hon. T.J. Burke but he also invited our Premier, the Hon. Shawn Graham to join the NBFSC. Our second ride in 2009 began with a different approach. We had invited many of the senior management and staff from our provinces Department’s of Tourism, Natural Resources, Transportation and Public Safety. We work with these bureaucrats year round and knew the experience of having them actually ride would benefit everyone. Before the 2010 snowmobile season began we entered into a joint idea to promote “Go Snowmobiling” that to this day we feel is relatively unique across the North American snow-belt. We formed a new partnership with Nova Scotia (SANS), Prince Edward Island (PEISA) and the four manufacturer’s District Sales Managers (DSM); Mr. Chris Thebeau of Arctic Cat, Mr. Rick Lingley of BRP-Ski-Doo, Mr. Frank Blouin (Mr. Corey MacDonald now) of Polaris and Mr. Pat Hicks and Mr. Clad Cock of Yamaha. The concept was simple and is still in place today. Each provincial Federation/Association would host a “ Go Snowmobiling ” Ride, in our respective provinces, back to back to back. The manufacturers DSM’s were critical to our individual and collective success’ by assisting us with demonstration sleds for the rides and being the conduit with their snowmobile dealers. No one province deserves credit for this idea; we have all equally benefitted from this experience and have formed a very cohesive group that we all simply call the Maritime Go Snowmobiling Group. In February 2010, with the assistance and new partnership of our entire group, we were extremely pleased to announce that the NBFSC would be hosting the Hon. Shawn Graham, Premier of New Brunswick for the New Brunswick “Go Snowmobiling” Ride. Everyone joined the NBFSC and our Premier to ride the trails just outside of our capital City, Fredericton, through Provincial Park, Mactaquac. We were joined by our provincial partners and the DSM’s and the assistance of the Nackawic Snowmobile Club to provide Premier Graham with a fun, relaxing afternoon. In 2011, after our Provincial Government changed political stripes that previous summer, we were looking to proceed with our positive momentum. We began to work with the new Provincial Government that previous summer and at every opportunity invited every Minister of the five critical departments we work with year-round in addition to the Premier’s Chief of Staff. For February 1 st 2011 the NBFSC announced to our Maritime Group that New Brunswick’s newest Premier, the Hon. David Alward would be joining the N.B. “Go Snowmobiling” Ride. We hosted the ride in Premier Alward’s home riding, Woodstock, N.B. with the assistance f the Woodstock Trailmakers S.C. Joining Premier Alward was our Minister for Tourism & Parks, Hon. Trevor Holder and MLA for York, Carl Urquhart. A planned short ride turned into an unexpected bonus as Premier Alward made the personal call on our return ride to extend his day. Everyone arrived back to the Trailmakers Groomer Shed for some pizza, reheated, but welcome. During 2011, in addition to our Premier’s Ride we began to host additional rides at various snowmobile events, throughout the Province. We are able to accomplish these additional “Go Snowmobiling” Rides because of the Corporate Partnerships we have developed with the four snowmobile manufacturers and the demonstration sleds we are provided with as a component of the annual NBFSC Corporate Partnerships. The 2012 season also brought everyone the NBFSC’s 30 th Anniversary. This provided us with a number of opportunities during the 2012 season to further expand our exposure of “Go Snowmobiling” by hosting three provincial ‘Ride-Ins’ at various partners. We hosted rides at Doaktown in January, at Sussex-Shepody the last weekend in January and in mid March near Kedgwick all with the assistance of three more NBFSC Corporate Partners. Among many events at each Ride-In from Classic & Antique displays to large bonfires we displayed and hosted, with our demonstration sleds, a number of rides to the public and snowmobilers, all day. On January 31 st , 2012 we were pleased to again with our Maritime Group’s support to host Premier David Alward, this season, near Doaktown, N.B. The entire day also included the presence of a number of New Brunswick’s Cabinet Ministers, our largest single “Go Snowmobiling” event since 2008. NBFSC Member Club, Miramichi Sno-Goers responded to our calls helping us to provide awesome groomed trails even though mother nature was less than cooperative just two days before the event. Also joining us; Finance Minister, Hon. Blaine Higgs, Tourism & Parks Minister, Hon. Trevor Holder, Public Safety Minister, Hon. Robert Trevors, Transportation & Infrastructure Minister, Hon. Claude Williams, Environment Minister, Hon. Bruce Fitch and local MLA for Southwest Miramichi, Jake Stewart. The NBFSC is extremely proud of the progress, recognition and image that the “Go Snowmobiling, Take a Friend” campaign, concept and message has provided us with. From Premiers to Ministers, MLAs, bureaucrats and hundreds of snowmobilers and non-snowmobilers we have attempted to carefully and calculated provide multiple opportunities to “Go Snowmobiling”. In 2013, The NBFSC and ISMA will recognize “ Go Snowmobiling, Take a Friend ” week from February 9 th to 16 th , 2013. .

  • Snowmobiler TV Visits New Brunswick
    Snowmobiler TV visits New Brunswick One of Canada’s most watched specialty shows, Snowmobiler TV recently joined the NBFSC for three days of filming, photography and story gathering about New Brunswick’s White Gold. Snowmobiler TV is the media sister to another very popular sledding source of information, Snow Goer Canada magazine. During Snowmobiler TV’s visit they assisted us as we hosted the NBFSC’s annual “Go Snowmobiling Ride” with Premier Alward. (See separate What’s New article .) Snowmobiler TV had a wonderful opportunity to see the relationship between the NBFSC and our provincial government. Future segments will include interviews with Premier Alward and Tourism & Parks Minister, Hon. Trevor Holder as well as Minister Robert Trevors – DPS, Minister Bruce Fitch - Local Government, Minister Claude Williams – DOT and Minister Blaine Higgs – Finance. Also interviewed were the NBFSC’s “Go Snowmobiling” partners, Chris Thebeau of Arctic Cat, Rick Lingley of BRP-Ski Doo and Pat Hicks of Yamaha Motor Canada. For day two and three of their visit we were the guests of the Auberge Atlantic Host Inn and Keith DeGrace. Keith was also interviewed by Snowmobiler TV telling the story of how he got started and how important the snowmobile industry is to his business, Bathurst and New Brunswick, every winter. The Bathurst region trails, specifically NBFSC Club Motoneige Chaleur and Nepisiguit Sports Lodge were the carpet of White Gold for our two days in Bathurst with Snowmobiler TV. We visited and filmed at the Nepisiguit Sports Lodge, Rogers Lake Lodge, Governor’s Wilderness Lodge, and various club warming shelters, Chaleur Snowmobile Clubhouse, Auberge Resources Inn and the Island Lake Camps.

  • New Brunswick PC Government Under Pressure from Provincial Liberals: Liberal Party Enjoys 11 Point Lead in Decided Vote, Time for a Change Sentiment at 56%
    New Brunswick PC Government under pressure from Provincial Liberals: Liberal Party enjoys 11 point lead in decided vote, time for a change sentiment at 56% Toronto – June 28, 2005 – Liberals are leading the Progressive Conservatives by 11 points among New Brunswick decided voters (46% Liberals – 35% PC – 17% NDP). Voters appear to be choosing the Liberal Party because they feel it is time for a change. Voters say they are not choosing the Progressive Conservative party because of the party’s policies (particularly healthcare) and its leader. The majority of people in New Brunswick want a change, saying that it is time to give a new person and party a chance (56%). Fifty-two per cent of the public also support a provincial election this fall to either confirm Lord’s government or elect a new one. Despite the mood for a change, PC Premier Bernard Lord enjoys a 6 point lead as Best Premier. Looking at leadership favourables, outgoing NDP leader Elizabeth Weir has the strongest favourable rating at 57%. Lord edges out Graham by 6 points in favourables, the same margin as on best Premier. However, Lord also leads in unfavourables with 38%, 21 points higher than Liberal leader Graham. A second finding that conflicts with the desire of change is the mood of the province. People in New Brunswick feel positively on the direction the province is heading. However, when it comes to issues of concern, health care, jobs and education are the most important to them personally. New Brunswick clearly appears poised for a close provincial election whenever it comes.

  • Reimaging a Better, Stronger New Brunswick: How Might We Help?
    A letter to the Premier, the Honourable Blaine Higgs: Reimaging a Better, Stronger New Brunswick: How might we help? Office of the Premier Chancery Place 6th Floor P. O. Box 6000 Fredericton, NB E3B 5H1 Canada Re: Reimaging a Better, Stronger New Brunswick – How might we help? Dear Premier Higgs, Let us begin by first offering our sincere thanks for your strong leadership throughout the current Covid-19 crisis that we are collectively faced with as Canadians. We are grateful and inspired by the commitment and collaboration shown across governments and throughout our communities. Everyone is doing their part and going above and beyond to ensure that New Brunswick comes through this in a way that strengthens us as people and a province. There have been many articles, theories and roadmaps for recovery from Covid-19 and, at times, it is overwhelming. There is no playbook to draw from and the task ahead daunting. Over the past four weeks, a number of leaders representing businesses, not-for-profit and the immigration sector have been meeting weekly to share information, support each other and think about: How can we collaborate to best contribute in a meaningful way that is helpful to government? Through our learning and discovery as a group, we looked at the way forward as having three phases: 1. Response – The government and communities’ response has been nothing short of amazing! We are so encouraged and grateful for the leadership and rapid response that has led New Brunswick’s risk level to be minimal. This has set us up to deal with the crisis effectively and to minimize the impact on New Brunswickers.
