The province is providing $658,000 in grant money to be shared between 12 groups towards walking, cross-country skiing and snowmobile trail repairs across Manitoba.
The funding was supported through an annual fee for registered off-road vehicles collected by Manitoba Public Insurance at the same time as annual registration.
Two local snowmobile groups are among those receiving funding.
North Mountain Riders are receiving $100,000 to repair snowmobile trails north of Swan River, while the Ashern Snowmobile Club 2008 will get $78,000 for trail repair work in the Ashern area.
The provincial government has also declared that February 8th of next year will be Manitoba Winter Trails Day.
