After I read the article with this little gem in it, I decided I would send my donation directly to the BCSF at Box 277, Keremeos, BC V0X 1N0.

Increased the total by another $200. Since I haven't needed to buy a belt on any of G4's, I thought I could help the cause by that much!

Current BC, Alberta and federal governments don't try and save land for motorized backcountry users unfortunately.

I'm not into sledding and don't quad in BC but I believe in what you guys are trying to do so I did donate. I hope I'm wrong but unfortunately I don't see the governments of Ab. or BC losing these battles.

In all fairness, I do believe that is to cover a credit card transaction cost. I could be wrong though.

This doesn't seem to draw the attention/cash as many other GoFundMe events do. Are sledders/outdoor enthusiasts that laid back?

I wonder if every club and every member got a newsletter laying out the problem and the objectives. To me, it is a no brainer and that should have reached the goal in no time.

Yeah I don't get it.

Seems pretty tough to get people to part with a $100.

Only 107 people have donated.

When I look through the list alot of big names off of here are missing...........

Is it on Facebook, Instagram or other social media sites? What about Sled clubs, are they promoting it to their members? I haven't seen anything from either BC sled club or AB sled clubs that I belong to.

There is something called the human condition out there. Let everyone else do the heavy lifting, goal is reached and I get the benefit of the result without doing the work or donating. I see it a lot in small communities. People will take a holiday when a big event is scheduled then come back after it’s over and act all “oh our community raised this much for this cause” without themselves lifting a finger.

I refer to it as "STP", Same Ten People.
