One Snowmobile Permit Concept Promoted

An old idea to improve winter tourism opportunities in the northwest is being revived.

Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association president Dave Canfield says he's talked with officials in Manitoba, Ontario and Minnesota about having snowmobile permits recognized in each others jurisdiction instead of forcing sledders to purchase additional ones.

Canfield says any agreement will need to be signed off by the provincial and State governments.
