Winter tourism is a market that northern Manitoba can really capitalize on and for the most part has. Now The Pas can boast another tourist attraction, this one drawing in all snowmobilers. Recently The Pas received a Sled Friendly certification that will help promote not only snowmobilers to the area, but general traffic and tourism as well.
“The Sled Friendly certification means that we are visible to the snowmobiling community and it notifies the snowmobilers that the municipality is dedicated to ensure their safety and enjoyment of the local trail networks,” said The Pas Community Development Corporation Economic Development Coordinator Jackie Rechenmacher. “The designation was provided through SledMB53, which is a project managed by Community Futures North Central Development and many partners such as Community Futures Greenstone, our very own local Community Futures Cedar Lake, Travel Manitoba, and four organized snowmobile clubs in Northern Manitoba.
