snowmobiling in the Swan River Valley through education, signing, and trail development.
Our club hosted its 16th annual Vintage ride on Saturday, February 25/2023 and Mother Nature was against us. We had extreme cold, minus 30 that morning and some winds. However, the people and sleds showed up at the Westwood Inn here in Swan River, Manitoba and by the time we were ready to head out it was only minus 18!
In total 40 drivers registered but not all rode. The riders then left on the ride which was 25 miles of groomed trail, and during the ride we had a staging area at one of our shelters where we served hot dogs, hot chocolate and donuts and the drivers were able to reminisce about the good ol’ days of sledding. The riders then made their way back to the Westwood Inn to check if they had won some of the amazing prizes that were raffled off including the payout to the drivers consisting of 1st place of 30% and 2nd place of 20%. We also had 50/50 which was a great success. Overall the day was a great success. It was good to see both young and old drivers having fun on their vintage sleds.
The club would like to thank our sponsor’s for donating the food and prizes for the silent auction, and to the volunteers in the club who worked hard in preparing the trail, riding with the machines for safety, cooking the food, the workers at the door selling tickets and completing registrations, and the gathering of prizes for the silent auction.
We would like to invite you all to our 2024 Vintage Ride. Please stay tuned to our website www.svsaa.ca and our Facebook page (Swan Valley Snowmobile Club) for the date, time and place. Start tuning up the vintage sleds!!!!!!!
Trails are marked and grooming in ongoing. Check out trail status at www.snoman.mb.ca

This program has helped change my own life. I am originally from Binscarth, MB and was addicted to alcohol and cocaine. There wasn’t much help to be found in 2012 when I wanted to get sober. My mom and I found their website online and within 3 days I was in their 12-month program. I graduated the program in 2013 and have continued to work with Adult & Teen Challenge since then. I am now a husband, father to 2 beautiful daughters, and also a home owner in Brandon. My goal is to help others that are struggling with addictions to get back up and to help them find success and to follow their dreams. We have a women’s centre in Brandon and a Mens centre in Winnipeg. For more info about our program please click this link. https://teenchallenge.tc/
If you have any questions feel free to reply to this email or you can call me at 204-730-7273.

October 4/2021 Monthly Club Meeting
Welcome back for another season our first meeting will be held on October 4/21 at the Westwood Inn at 7:30pm here in Swan River. Please plan to attend.
Volunteers Needed
More volunteers = better trails
Your willingness to volunteer for your club is very much appreciated. There are clubs that fold up every year due to lack of volunteer help, which leads to no money for the club.
Without money, the trails suffer as do the riders of the trail system: The equipment cannot be fixed, we cannot buy fuel for the groomers and ultimately the trails stopped getting groomed and cleaned up and are eventually abandoned. Sadly, this has been the case lately with other clubs right here in Manitoba, but with your help our club and the trail system will continue to thrive.
Every year our club desperately needs more volunteers to help with fund raisers like the Vintage Ride, raffle ticket sales, trail work and maintenance. Sometimes we need just a couple hours of your time. Currently, less than 10% of trail users volunteer for the club's fundraisers and trail work, combined.
Want to volunteer?
Email us with your name, address and phone number and any preferences to what you might like to volunteer for.
All support is much appreciated!
