We are pleased to report that we have made progress on our

sustainable funding model, with the Manitoba Government proposing

The Off Road Trails and Safety Act for 2nd & 3rd reading in 2023, and

will legislate a $25 fee on all registered ORV’s as of April 1,2024. A

Sustainable Funding Agreement is proposed to be signed on June 19,

2024 (day after a By-Election as a payment is proposed to ATVMB in

early July and October, 2024) as a By-Election for a riding for an election

day of June 18, 2024 has prevented the Manitoba Government from

holding major meetings.

route kilometers) which has been adopted by the ATVMB board. The
