Sub-Committees
DRXC could not function without its volunteers. Please consider donating some of your time to helping out with one or more of the following activities:
Grooming
Under the direction of the Chief Groomer, help groom and track set the trails using club snowmobiles and grooming equipment. Snowmobile experience would be an asset. Call Marc Audet at 613-281-4591. DRXC Grooming Policy.
