QUAD RIDERS ATV ‘ATVBC’ POKER RIDE   

Tuesday July 13th, Members of ATV BC and the Moose ATV Club met with officials from Canadian Natural Resources to discuss the Stewart Lake Trail System.

The Cowichan ATV Club Float entry into the Lake Days Parade was very successful. They were awarded a Second Place ribbon for their efforts.An information booth was set up after the parade to further the efforts of the Cowichan Club and ATV/BC. Thanks to Bill, Jean, Joe, Rick, Ellen, Zan, Mike, Doug and all the other club members that organized, helped patrol intersections and manned the booth. Everyone enjoyed the day and had a good time.

Once again, the Can-Am ATV Club Support Program partners with your local Can-Am dealer to donate up to $1,000 cash to your local ATV club this summer/fall. That's right, Can-Am is putting thousands of dollars on the table across British Columbia as their way of saying thanks to our hard-working clubs and volunteers who build and maintain BC's thousands of kilometres of trails.

All you have to do is click the banner below, and follow the directions to fill out and print a $10 donation certificate, then drop it off at a Can-Am dealership. Can-Am will then give your ATV club $10 cash! How easy is that?

Help Can-Am give their money to your ATV club! All it costs you is a few minutes of your time. Make sure everyone in your ATV club does this before Sept 15, 2010.

You do not need to own a Can-Am ATV to participate.

THANKS to Can-Am for supporting the ATV clubs of BC and Quads.ca.

Summer motorized sports have taken a major step in working with government and protecting our access to crown land. In August at our Face to Face board meeting held in Chilliwack this year The British Columbia Off Road Motorcycle Association and the Quad Riders ATV Association of British Columbia signed a Memorandum of Understanding on collaboration and cooperation for the benefit of all motorized sports. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those that participated in the face to face spring meeting in Chilliwack this past weekend.

Robert did an excellent job of organizing the event, especially since he had to do it from Fort St John.

The Project was to establish a off loading site on the West Harrison FSR approximately 3KM past the Weaver Creek Fish Hatchery. The gravel road from the Hatchery parking lot to Weaver Lake Rec Site turn off is considered PUBLIC ROADWAY and you can be ticketed by the RCMP for various offences such as no insurance, speeding [40 KPH speed limit] and riding on a public road.

ATV/BC is once again holding a raffle this year to help raise funds for programs and services, including prizes for the annual poker ride.  

The raffle prize this year is a 2010 Polaris 500 HO ATV, approximate retail value $7,499.00.  Raffle tickets are $10 each, only 1900 tickets are printed, the draw date is July 17, 2010 at approximately 6pm at the PXA Grounds in Princeton BC.

Boomers who are just beginning to have trouble with hips, knees and backs have embraced the concept of travelling the backcountry mounted on powerful iron steeds sporting four large knobby tires.

“It appeals to adventurous spirits who want to get off the beaten track,” he says. “Seventy-five per cent of our 110 members are seniors. There are clubs in Ladysmith, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Courtenay-Comox and Campbell River.”
