Dear Editor:
RE: Mapleton snowmobile club reaches trail use agreement with GRCA, Dec. 30.
Last week’s front page article re-awakened my hatred of those noisy, smelly, polluting, two-stroke, oil-burners that are the scourge of our winter wonderland walks along the beautiful and otherwise peaceful Elora/Cataract Trail.
With the impending climate change catastrophe smacking us in the face, when will we wake up?
I can accept a utilitarian case for a few snowmobiles as essential transport in the remote north but in southern Ontario? I don’t think so.
Is time well overdue to re-think our leisure pursuits and enjoy the great outdoors without the aid of a machine?
Roy Pegg,
