There is a maximum of 20 people per course which runs six hours. Instructor Peggy Brown of the Ontario Snowmobile Federation saw about 50 young students by the time Tuesday's session ended. There is a minimum age of 12 for the course but no maximum age has been set. Brown claims that she would like to see parents get into this type of course as well as the children, adding that she had one student in her course last year that was 72 years old. Brown is one of 16 master instructors in Ontario for the snowmobile safety course and she feels that this course's importance cannot be neglected. Of most snowmobile accidents where the driver was 16 years and under, most deaths occurred where the drivers hadn't taken the course. Once a person has taken the course they are given a form which they take to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications where it is validated and they are handed their snowmobiling license. That license is good for life and need never be renewed. Anyone having received their license that are 12 and 13 years old can legally ride their snowmobile on their own property and public trails. Riders 14 and 15 years old can ride their fell on Penetanguishene. During the winter more snow to come! RCA employee wins $1million Ontario has a new millionaire.
