The Department of Natural Resources will hold a free snowmobile safety instructor workshop on Saturday, Jan. 30, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center located near Roscommon on the north shore of Higgins Lake.
The workshop will provide an opportunity for experienced snowmobilers who have an interest in becoming a volunteer snowmobile safety instructor to receive their certificates enabling them to teach Michigan's Snowmobile Safety Education Course.
Increasing the number of instructors will allow for more snowmobile safety courses to be offered. Class size will be limited to 25 students and filled on a first come, first served basis. Those interested must meet the following requirements:
- must not possess a criminal record
- must possess a valid driver's license
- must be 18 years of age or older
- must be knowledgeable of the rules and regulations that pertain to the operation of snowmobiles
- must have prior experience in the safe operation of snowmobiles
- must successfully complete the instructor certification training course and written exam
Individuals interested in participating in the workshop must register by the close of business on Wednesday, Jan. 2. To register, contact Cpl. John Morey at (989) 619-3784 or via e-mail at moreyj1@michigan.gov. When registering, please provide your full name, complete mailing address, telephone number and e-mail address, if available.
