'BILL 11' HAS BEEN PASSED!!  We will work with the municipalities in our riding areas to encourage and support the designation of municipal road accesses.  If you are interested in representation for your area, please call us.  In time and with an organized effort, trails can be designated and linked into an inter-provincial trail network.

 

 

Sign our notice of petition : As a result of the increasing cost of insurance, and the transfer of responsibility to local and Provincial clubs, it is requested that the Provincial and Federal Government take action.
