Notice to all OFATV Members
OFATV President Bruce Murphy, has announced that effective immediately the permit reciprocation
program with the Quebec ATV Rider Federation (FQCQ) has been discontinued. FQCQ put the OFATV on
notice at end of September 2009 that effective October 31st the reciprocation agreement would become null and void.
Among other things the FQCQ member clubs felt they were not being adequately compensated for the maintenance required
by the additional traffic on their trails. Hopefully the issues can be resolved but its very unlikely to happen for the 2010 riding season.
Ottawa Valley ATV Club Joins Ontario Federation of All Terrain Vehicle Clubs
We haven't provided much news lately but your club executive has been busy ! We can now announce what
has been in the works since fall of 2008 - the Ottawa Valley ATV Club has joined the Ontario Federation of All Terrain Vehicle Clubs (OFATV).
It has taken a long time but finally the OFATV
has succeeded in joining most of the Ontario ATV clubs and their trail systems into
a single organization. Some of the benefits of joining the OFATV
are:
Access to thousands of kilometers of trails province wide in both Ontario and Quebec
Trail insurance to protect landowners and member clubs. (you still need your own personal ATV insurance)
Trail development funds for OFATV member clubs
Wardened trails - trained Wardens will help keep the trails enjoyable and safe
Signage - Trails that are properly signed will help ensure the safety of everyone utilizing our trail system
Free issues of All Terrain Vehicle Magazine (you must sign up at the OFATV web site)
Free issues of ATV World Magazine (you must sign up at the OFATV web site)
A voice in the future of ATV use in Ontario
All OVATVC members will receive membership cards and decals for both the OVATVC and OFATV. Please see our
