Fire Ban/ATV's/ORV's
FIRE BAN REMAINS IN EFFECT – NO ATV/ORV USE PERMITTED
May 30, 2025 - NO ATVs MAY BE OPERATING ANYWHERE IN THE MUNICIPALITY INCLUDING ROADS. TICKETS WILL BE ISSUED TO ANYONE CAUGHT OPERATING ONE. They will be charged under the Provincial Offences Act (POA by-law). First fine is $250.00, second fine $500.00 and any beyond $1,000.00.
In Manitoba - and most Canadian jurisdictions - ATV's and ORV's are umbrella terms that cover a wide range of motorized vehicles for off-road use. Under provincial legislation like Manitoba's Off-Road Vehicles Act, here's what is included: ● Quads / Four-wheelers ● Side-by-sides / UTVs (Utility Task Vehicles) ● Dirt bikes / Trail bikes (motorized, off-road) ● 3-wheelers (less common but still included) ● Dune buggies ● Argos / amphibious off-road vehicles ● Mini-bikes / pocket bikes (off-road use)
The fire ban includes all off-road vehicles—quads, side-by-sides, dirt bikes, and even golf carts—whether gas or electric. If it's motorized and off-road, it's not permitted at this time.
