The Canadian Press, 09 Mar, 2016 12:17 PM
    GOLDEN, B.C. — Three snowmobilers who were rescued from Glacier National Park in southeastern British Columbia have been handed fines under the National Parks Act.
     
    An online court document shows Ryland and Tannis Collison and Dylan Roth were fined after appearing in court on Tuesday in Golden, B.C.
     
    The court record shows they were each fined $250 and each of them must pay a further $250 to a local snowmobiling association.
     
    The Collisons and Roth faced fines of up to $25,000 for operating a snow vehicle in the national park without a permit.
     
    Another man, Thomas Wolf, was due to appear in a Golden courtroom Wednesday morning.
     
    The four men, three from central Alberta and one from Saskatchewan, became stranded in the Quartz Creek area west of Golden on Jan. 16.
     
    In addition to the court imposed fines, the sledders had to pay $4,000 to have their sleds helicoptered out of the park.
