S\ N a - Fan Todds shail L AR PET TR Snowmobiling on the increase (From page?) longest and most difficult snow machine race on. the continent. The International 500 Snowmobile Race, which originates in St. Paul, Minnesota, takes place over three days ending in Winni- peg, Manitoba. It's usually held the last week of January or early February. Ontario's Haliburton High- lands are another ideal spot for snowmobiling. Only two hours from Toronto, the aréa has 480 km (300 miles) of groomed and marked trails. The Haliburtons border on Algonquin Park where there are additional groomed trails. The Huronia and Muskoka area are also with- in two hours driving of Toronto and provide many resorts which cater to snow- mobilers.

Proceeds buy equipment and develop facilities for crippled child- ren in Ontario. The province of Quebec has one of the finest snow- mobile networks in the world. More than 51,200 km (32,000 miles) of trails travel through beautiful forests and over frozen lakes, linking up with trails in Maine in the United States.
