The Great Canadian KYMCO Winners!

The Great Canadian KYMCO Contest has given both KYMCO Canada and our local
authorized KYMCO dealers an opportunity to give back to Canadians. This year we
allocated five KYMCO vehicles to donate to individuals or organizations that stand
out in our communities. We got some outstanding nominations, but there can only
be 5 winners, and here they are!

The Cool Aid Society – Victoria, BC

The Cool Aid Society is a non-profit organization with over 300 volunteers that has
been working to eliminate homelessness through community based solutions since
1968. Nominated by Scooter Underground, the Cool Aid Society will receive a
donation of a KYMCO Vitality 50 2T scooter which will allow staff members to travel
around their urban centre and reach marginalized members of their community. A
scooter is particularly helpful in this effort as it is a friendly and non-threatening
vehicle in the eyes of the community members to whom they are reaching out.
Congratulations Cool Aid Society on winning the Great Canadian KYMCO Contest and
on the support you provide your local community!

Municipal District of Bonnyville Public Safety Department – Bonnyville, AB

The Municipal District of Bonnyville Public Safety Department responds to the needs
of their community by providing effective local law enforcement and related
community based services, all in an accountable and cost effective manner. With a
large ATV community, the department offers training for safe and lawful operation
of ATVs to school age children through their School Resource Officers. They also
patrol approximately 70km of the recreational trail system that spans the entire
municipality. Nominated by X Power and Performance, the department will be
awarded an MXU 500 ATV which will provide them with a modern, reliable vehicle
that will not only be used to patrol the recreational trail system, but will also be used
for ATV safety courses with the youth of the community. Congratulations to all the
staff in the Public Safety Department on winning the Great Canadian KYMCO Contest
and on the support you provide to your Municipality!

summer camp setting. The camp operates solely on donated funds, goods, and
services while subsidizing over 60% of the children who attend. Nominated by
Studio Cycle Group, the Ontario Camp for the Deaf has been awarded a UXV 500
UTV to help them not only maintain the 400 acre camp ground, but to also help
transport visitors around the property. It is worth noting that the camp is also a
CMRC sanctioned race venue which welcomes hundreds of riders and supporters to
their site every summer. Congratulations to everyone at the Bob Rumball
Organization and to all volunteers who work at the camp on winning the Great
Canadian KYMCO Contest and on the support you provide to the deaf, special needs,
and ATV communities in Ontario and beyond!

Zec Mars-Moulin – Laterrière, QC

Established in 1978, Zecs are territorial infrastructures that are run by non-profit
organizations; they are responsible for the management and conservation of wildlife
on their territories. The 15-20 volunteers at Zec Mars-Moulin educate local visitors
and tourists alike about the wildlife in the area, responsible hunting and fishing, and
the importance of environmental protection. Nominated by Bouchard Sports Loisirs,
and the recipients of an MXU 500 ATV, Zec Mars-Moulin will be able to use the quad
as both a surveillance vehicle and a work vehicle to transport equipment and people.
Congratulations to all the volunteers at Zec Mars-Moulin on winning the Great
Canadian KYMCO Contest and on the work you do in wildlife conservation and the
protection of the environment in your area!

Springhill Fire Department – Springhill, NS

Established in 1890, the Springhill Fire Department with its 30 volunteers faces
some very difficult terrain in its area. From large open fields surrounded by rural
homes and businesses to forested acreage, the firefighters sometimes find it
difficult, if not impossible, to reach some of these areas with conventional fire
equipment. Nominated by Warren MacDonald & Son Garage Ltd., and the recipients
of an MXU 500 ATV, the Springhill Fire Department has also offered to make the unit
available to assist the efforts of the local Search and Rescue team. Congratulations
to all the brave volunteers at the Springhill Fire Department on winning the Great
Canadian KYMCO Contest and for the services you provide to your local community!
