BC Snowmobile Regs by 2011?

Quoted in an article in the Globe & Mail yesterday afternoon, B.C. Solicitor General Kash Heed notes:

“B.C. is one of the few Canadian provinces that does not require insurance and registration of snowmobiles.“Where we can regulate, we will,” Mr. Heed said. “The backcountry is so vast it’s difficult to enforce, but where we know these events are going to take place, we have to have the enforcement rules in place.”

The article also says the Solicitor General expects new regulations to be in place by October, 2011.
