Fort Nelson Snowmobile club wants to expand trails

FORT NELSON, B.C. – The Fort Nelson Snowmobile Club has expressed interest in expanding its trail network.

Fort Nelson council staff have met regularly with the Fort Nelson Snowmobile Club to identify the group’s needs and find solutions.

In a June 13th council meeting, the club expressed it would like to expand its trail network in certain areas close to Fort Nelson.
