Why does this matter to our riders? Because the trails we love today only stay open if we take care of them. Tread Lightly Canada is bringing together industry, government, and trail organizations around one goal: responsible recreation that protects access for the future!
ATVMB is committed to being part of that conversation. Education and stewardship aren’t optional, they’re how we keep riding.
On June 17, 2026, at the Canadian Trails Summit in Winnipeg, Tread Lightly Canada officially launched its national stewardship initiative, marking an important milestone for Canada’s trail and outdoor recreation communities.
As a newly established charitable foundation, Tread Lightly Canada promotes responsible outdoor recreation through education, stewardship, partnerships, and sustainable trail advocacy. Its mission is to help keep Canada’s trails accessible, sustainable, and enjoyable for future generations.
As a proud founding partner, Moto Canada supports Tread Lightly Canada’s efforts to foster responsible recreation and environmental stewardship across the country.

Tread Lightly Canada focuses on:
- Protecting access to trails and recreation areas
- Promoting responsible recreation practices
- Supporting environmental stewardship
- Encouraging sustainable trail use
- Building partnerships that benefit all trail users
The T.R.E.A.D. Principles
Tread Lightly Canada’s work is guided by five simple principles:
