Did anyone attend??
Anything new?

A lot of people attended, I believe there were 250 or more registered. Every session was packed. It was very informative for everyone. Very broad range of attendees too, right from club and trail volunteers, NS Trails/SANS/ATVANS/NSORR executive and boards, OHV Minister Advisory Committee, DNR, HPP, Manufactuers, Dealers, safety folks, enforcement, Government Minister, Municipal leaders, Elanman etc.

I agree, the event was well done! I hope there is another next spring
There were also participants from PEI and CMA sent a represenative from Ontario.
How about a HCS event next year?

what do ya mean bud, there was a big ol party saturday night after the sans banquet where the banquet was held in part a&b,
there was a game show and karoke going on, there must of been 6 or 7 of us there it was a blast.
Maybe next year more people will get up and do karoke!



all the meetings were handy in a way!
you learn stuff or if u had a question you discussed befre u came here they allready told us there before even asking them about it.

on saturday night there i found out i had some people related to me that i was sitting with, all these years and i never clued in!
and hes a member of this site lol
