Uniting Manitoba's ATV Enthusiasts Since 2009
About the All Terrain Vehicle Association of Manitoba Inc.(ATVMB)
As early as 1998, the popularity of all-terrain vehicle riding exploded in Manitoba. With the number of registered ATVs in Manitoba increasing from 3150 in 1998 to 46,000 in 2022 so too has media coverage and public scrutiny of the sport.
Unfortunately, not all of this attention casts the sport in a positive light. Despite the presence of the Manitoba Off Road Vehicles (ORV) Act, a number of rural municipalities have implemented local restrictions or outright bans on ATV use.
Recognizing the need for an official organization representing the interests of ATV enthusiasts, the All Terrain Vehicle Association of Manitoba (ATVMB) was formed in 2009 with the primary goal of being recognized as the official liaison between the Manitoba Government and ATV users in Manitoba. This goal has been achieved.
In order to help ATVMB provide you, the ATV enthusiast, with a stronger voice with the Manitoba Government and to continue to help support your fair and legal right to enjoy the sport of ATV riding, ATVMB urges you to get involved and support us by joining your local ATV club. A list of ATVMB sanctioned clubs is listed here on our website. We realize that as of the time of this writing there may not be a club in your immediate area. If this is your situation, there are other options!
