Sled and ATV Smart into the New Season
The Alberta Snowmobile Association, Alberta Transportation, RCMP, and the Alberta Centre for Injury Control and Research, along with strong corporate sponsorship, continue to enjoy a strong and co-operative partnership in promoting the Sled Smart and ATV Safety and Awareness Program.
SLED SMART centers on three key elements: information, education and community involvement. The focus of this campaign is to raise awareness of safe and environmentally responsible snowmobile and ATV operation to students.
We invite parents and community members to attend the presentations to support their youth and build a relationship of trust and confidence with respect to the safe and responsible operation of recreational vehicles.

The 2009-10 SLED SMART Snowmobile and ATV Safety and Education Campaign will be delivered to participating schools throughout Alberta and will create greater community awareness and support of snowmobile and ATV safety. The ASA SLED SMART program has been deemed an outstanding success with presentations made to over 50,000 students across the province.

“The sport of snowmobiling is a great way to enjoy Alberta’s wonderful winter landscape” says Chris Brookes, Executive Director of the ASA. “While snowmobiling is a perfect family activity for Albertans, it also takes place in the great outdoors, which can be challenging and unpredictable at times. Sled Smart offers a good, well rounded introduction to off highway riding in all seasons and is a valuable addition to school curriculums, which currently do not offer this important information to Alberta students.”
The Alberta Snowmobile Association (ASA), founded in 1971, is a non-profit organization representing volunteer clubs, which operate, maintain and promote Alberta’s snowmobile trail network and riding across the province. The ASA is also affiliated with all other provincial and territorial snowmobile organizations, which represent organized snowmobiling through the Canadian Council of Snowmobile Organizations (CCSO). We join together in promoting safe, responsible snowmobiling in Canada.
