The Trans-Québec 83 trail may open in the urban sector of Saguenay.
The Saguenay Snowmobile Club has reached an agreement on rights of way with a farmer from La Baie and with Rio Tinto who agrees to renovate a bridge it owns on the route.
Finally, a solution was found to bypass the site of the new service point of the SAAQ in the Arvida sector.
Snowmobilers from outside will therefore be able to go to the various hotels in the city.
It's certain that, at the moment, it's like plasters . [...] because sometimes they sell land where we pass, but there, it was too late because it was sold , explained the president of the Club des motoneigistes du Saguenay, Jocelyn Charest, in an interview with the show It’s never the same .
We need a long-term solution so that we stop investing for nothing by changing the paths. We all have to walk in the same direction to have permanent paths for the City of Saguenay.
A quote fromJocelyn Charest, president of the Saguenay Snowmobile Club
He now wants a permanent solution for the future.

The city is in the process of setting up the committee with their own members, and on our board of directors, we passed a resolution so that I could sit on the committee , he mentioned.
The City of Saguenay's off-road vehicle committee currently has only one member: municipal councilor Serge Gaudreault.
He has been campaigning for several months to consolidate the committee which will soon bring together elected officials from the three boroughs, representatives of all off-road vehicle clubs as well as Promotion Saguenay staff.
The goal of the committee is to have permanent, long-term trails. 5 to 10 year contracts with farmers. If land ever sells, we need to know about it in order to negotiate access quickly , maintains Serge Gaudreault.
