When you apply for, or renew, your driver's licence, any medical condition that may affect your ability to drive must be reported to SGI. Write this information on a supplementary insurance form, available from all licence issuers. Failure to report medical conditions could result in a loss of insurance coverage. For more information contact SGI's Customer Service Centre in Regina at 306-775-6900, or toll free at 1-800-667-9868.

Note: The holder of a Class 1 to 5 driver's licence is permitted to operate a snowmobile or ATV. All snowmobile operators born after Jan. 1, 1989, must have taken an approved safety course in addition to holding a Class 1 to 5 driver's licence. The holder of a Class 7 driver’s licence is permitted to operate an ATV or snowmobile provided they are accompanied by someone who holds a Class 1 to 5 driver's licence or supervised (within 5 m of and in view of) by someone on another machine that holds a Class 1 to 5 driver's licence.

For more information regarding snowmobiles and ATVs call SGI's Customer Service Centre at 306-775-6900 or 1-800-667-9868.
