Anyone see the area he is trying to call his own?

View attachment 208004

That entire area should be deemed recreational period. Let the club work out with wiggy who gets to use what and when. Maybe a seasonal rotation with some areas. All should be fair and equal. That’s the issue, there is no fair and equal. It’s insane the private enterprise gets preferential treatment. Low flying Helicopters cause more harm to the wildlife than snowmobiles that’s a documented fact shown by 2 separate studies, that is why transport Canada says its an infraction to fly within 2000 vertical feet of ANY wildlife. The whole issue is hypocrisy. Wiigy has over 1.2 million acres of tenure, how many acres does the club have ?

But none of it matters because wiggy has as “memorandum of understanding” on how to operate with regard to wildlife or that is to say, he’s got a lot of money and makes it look like he has a plan, so it’s all good.

Almost 10 years ago, MW wanted to ban all sledders from the mountains. An interesting read from S&M archives
https://www.snowandmud.com/archive/index.php/t-15276.html
Looks like he is still wanting to get rid of sledders, but using bureaucracy to get it done this time.

This feels like something the Snowmobile Associations need to weigh in on this as well. I tried to find a link describing the application of MW for all of this land, but I am unable to find anything other than the MOU. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

If you guys want to get your blood boiling the government collects a whole dollar per client day for Heli Skiers and 6 bucks per client day for sled tour clients.

The CN shack along the tracks by Allen creek.
Be interesting to hear from the local simp how they feel about potentially being charged trespassing to access most of that area that is, I’m sure, by rights theirs.

What about protesting?
These guys are so hot to protest everything else. Maybe park the big enclosed in front of weigle world entrance with some banners and see what happens. Hard to conduct news interviews with all them helicopters none stop in and out of there.

Still looking.
Curtis had explained the difference between how weigles wanted to lease vs actual tenure.

I believe there are 3 threads regarding this.
And I read what Curtis wrote, I will go look there.
