ATV/BC is excited to announce that the ATV/BC child safety program is set to begin. In 2008, ATV/BC applied for a grant from COHV to develop a program to teach children safety while riding an ATV. This program was to teach the children in the classroom in a one hour session.

In 2008 ATV/BC hired a teaching professional to develop the curriculum and related materials including a work book for the students.

In the spring of 2008 ATV/BC applied for support from the Ministry of Tourism.  In October a grant of $5,000 was approved by Minister Bill Bennett to assist in carrying out ATV/BC's safety and education programs.

We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts.

COHV has introduced the new Adventure Trails Interactive CD and activity book to be used by ATV Clubs, law enforcement, safety organizations, school and the general public as the most innovative way to teach young ATV riders the rules around riding safely
