Cabot Snowmobile Club

Directions Contact the organization

Cabot Snowmobile Club The Cabot Snowmobile Club is a member of the Snowmobilers Association of Nova Scotia (SANS) since 1970.

We have been self-supporting and actively maintaining trails for 53 years! Our accomplishments are due to the voluntary efforts of our members. Our club maintains 200 kilometers of trail, a Groomer Station near Timber Lake and the infamous โ€œPig & Whistleโ€ shelter located on the Highland Road. We always welcome new members and are grateful to have so many active volunteers! The Club began as a small group of enthusiastic snowmobilers whoโ€™s desire to share and grow the sport of riding their trails has resulted in their Club becoming a sound community asset and economic driver.

Cabot Snowmobile Club Members & friends
Our Groomer Shack is a vital resource that allows our operators to rest safely after keeping the trails clear, saving them from hauling in supplies for every shift. Sadly, during a visit last week, Clifford discovered that someone took our Honda generator and other equipment. We are asking anyone with information to please come forward. Acts like this don't just impact our clubโ€”they hurt the entire sledding community.

Remember our sledding first responders when purchasing firefighters 50/50! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Itโ€™s been busy for our fire department with calls this week! Our normally pretty quiet department has responded to 5 calls in the last 6 daysโ€ฆ3 of them being on the same day! It started with a structure fire, then 3 medical calls and then last night we were paged out for a scary mutual aid call!

Luckily for all the departments and agencies involved, it turned out to be a false alarm but when that pager goes off and you hear what the call is, you donโ€™t know what youโ€™re going to or how many people are going to be there to help!

Last night we were dispatched as mutual aid to a trail off of Oregon Rd in North River. This is the furthest our side x side has ever gone for a call! And even though it was a false alarm, weโ€™re thankful for everyone who showed up to help! This turned out to be great training for our department. We got to use the new satellite phones that were issued to us by the province and were able to communicate clearly with the North Shore fire department as they were unable to hear us on the portable radios.

When youโ€™re looking to make a donation or buying your Nova Scotia Firefighters 50-50 tickets remember that even the smallest departments get busy and have lots of expenses to cover too!
