About Us

Mission

Our Mission is to have the very best prepared trails in Mainland Nova Scotia.  Although snow in recent years has been challenging, when we receive it, we groom it and have a great reputation for having some of the best trails. When we can’t groom, we continue to plan events to have something for our members to enjoy.

Cost

Trail pass revenue only contributes 60% towards the cost of grooming and maintaining the trails. The club expenses, such as heat, light, maintenance, snow removal, insurance, and all the other incidentals come from members and their fund-raising efforts. The canteen returns nothing to the bottom line, and gas, although it seems expensive, generates very little.

Work

SLTGA grooming hours continue to be at the top of the list for all clubs in Nova Scotia. Trail work and bridge building go on throughout the year. Bush cutting and trail maintenance are done by the members and all usually at no charge to the club.

Club

Our club has many great aspects. The new warming hut has been a big success and will continue to be. Our anchor fundraiser, Chase the Ace, continues to be strong, as well as, Winterfest, the many rallies, and more events throughout the year. All of these things make Sutherland’s a great place to visit and snowmobile from, and hopefully are some of the reasons we carry on long into the future.

Join

Bottom line is the $50.00 we require for membership is a deal. This is a family membership for all in a household. We want and desire new members to grow and move ahead. To become part of our club please go to the Contact section of this website. Lastly, without the efforts of our people we wouldn’t be here. Look for your name on the list on your next visit.
