Common factors included driving too fast for the conditions, alcohol\/drugs and riding on unsafe frozen waterways. Forty-one (41) per cent of the fatalities were linked to alcohol\/drugs and 36 per cent of them occurred on frozen lakes and rivers (in OPP jurisdictions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Safe and responsible snowmobiling means not going out if there is any doubt about whether it is safe to do so. This cannot be overstated where frozen waterways are involved, which are never guaranteed to be 100 per cent safe. Making smart decisions before and during your ride, such as always riding sober and drug-free, is what will get you home to your family,&#8221; said Rohan Thompson, Deputy Commissioner, OPP Traffic Safety and Operational Support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The OPP remains committed to saving lives on more than one million square kilometres of land and waterways throughout the province.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Snowmobile Safety Week<\/em>&nbsp;runs from January 13 to 21, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consults the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs interactive trail guide before riding at: &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ofsc.evtrails.com\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">OFSC Interactive Snowmobile Trail Guide<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the OPP As part of&nbsp;Snowmobile Safety Week, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is reminding snowmobilers to stay off frozen waterways, which unseasonably mild temperatures have made particularly unpredictable and [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":131900,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-148796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
