Ever since Quebec’s Joseph Armand Bombardier developed the first modern snowmobile in 1959, millions of Canadians have discovered that snowmobiling is one of the best ways to enjoy our long winters.
Prime Minister Harper was in Quebec City for the 61st edition of Carnival – one of Canada’s most beloved winter festivals. He joined the Fédération des clubs de motoneigistes du Québec for a ride through some of the province’s more than 33,000 kilometres of groomed snowmobile trails.

Snowmobiling is a fun and exciting way to enjoy Canada’s great outdoors, but, it is also worth billions to the Canadian economy. And, it’s responsible for creating thousands of jobs and attracts tourists from around the world.

That’s why, over the last decade, the Government of Canada has invested in the repair, improvement and maintenance of snowmobile trails across Canada.

Please congratulate Serge and Team FCMQ for making this day such a great success for all of us by hosting the Prime Minister of Canada for all the volunteers and associations involved in organized snowmobiling across Canada.
