Who are we?
The Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations is the national body for organized snowmobiling in Canada. With a mission statement of "Dedicated to providing leadership and support of safe, organized and environmentally
responsible snowmobiling in Canada", the CCSO/CCOM serves as the umbrella group for all the snowmobile associations and federations in Canada. The CCSO/CCOM envisions a continuing, sustainable, legacy connecting snowmobile trail systems across Canada that exists in harmony with our environment for now and for our future generations to enjoy.
The membership of the CCSO/CCOM Board consists of the 12 provincial and territorial associations. Each member organization has two representatives that constitute the Board of Directors with one vote per province/territory. These dedicated volunteers are usually the presidents or executive officers of each of their own federations. They meet three times per year to exchange ideas, identify and prioritize national issues and provide the CCSO/CCOM with mid to long-term objectives.
The Board has given high priority to the completion of the Trans-Canadian Snowmobile Trail and the required uniform signage program across the whole country. There has also been a strong movement to unify all Canadian snowmobile safety messages under the international safety program called "Safe Riders! You Make Snowmobiling Safe."
