🏆 2026 NLSF Snowmobile Family of the Year Award – Edmund & Cavelle Gaulton A shared commitment to their trails and community is at the heart of everything Edmund and Cavelle do. For the Western Sno-Riders (WSR), they’re a dependable team whose dedication is felt throughout the club. Through their involvement with the Frenchman’s Pond Trail Group and the Goose Arm & Area Cabin Association, they bring leadership and steady support to local trail development. They organize weekly 50/50 draws, help with sticker sales and take part in other fundraising initiatives that contribute to the work of their club and the NLSF. They’re just as involved in getting the work done. Edmund can often be found in the grader, improving roads and ditches, with their nomination highlighting 60 kilometres of trail work completed this season. Both also help care for the Warm-Up Inn, keeping it maintained for those who use it. Their willingness to help extends to the unexpected challenges, too. When a groomer or operator runs into mechanical trouble, Edmund is someone the club can call for repairs or a rescue. Together, they give their time and skills wherever they’re needed. In their nomination, WSR described the couple as “the type of volunteers clubs dream of having.” Congratulations, Edmund and Cavelle! Thank you for everything you do for your club and our snowmobiling community. 👏

The NLSF was happy to play a role in helping facilitate today’s online 💻 meeting with the Bay St. George Snowmobile Association the Bay St. George South River Riders Association and the Tourism Southwest organizations. We shared updates and began to identify opportunities to collaborate 🤝 on building and maintaining safe, reliable four seasons off road vehicle/multi-purpose trails connecting the gorgeous communities, small businesses and points of interest throughout the entire Southwestern Newfoundland region! Tourism Southwest has long been an advocate 📣 for these kinds of outcomes for the area, to shine a light on the positive impacts of the off-road riding industry and continue to lead the island-wide charge in this regard with their ongoing investments in tourism product development and marketing initiatives. The NLSF thanks everyone involved in today’s initial meeting and are truly excited about this emerging collaboration! 🙏 Newfoundland & Labrador Tourism

Another one of those “most ever” 📈 Annual General Meetings last night - this time in the Town of Springdale for the Green Bay Snowmobile Association. There was detailed discussion of local priorities, sharing of information by the NLSF and some very impactful commitments of funds, material and labour made by volunteers and the local business community to invest in the activities and outcomes associated with the club. A special shout out to everyone elected to the new look board including President Berkley Coish and a thank you 🙏 to Past President (now VP) Alex Regular for all of his efforts to continue to move the club forward. This was another strong 💪 turnout with new volunteers expressing their willingness to help build and maintain four season friendly trails and to always have a little fun doing so! 😂 Congrats to everyone involved - the NLSF looks forward to continuing to work with this group and interested municipalities and other partners to welcome resident and non-resident riders year round to the Green Bay area!
