We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens of Newfoundland and Labrador who urge our leaders to act now to allow the use of ATVs’ on traditional trailways (INCLUDING BOGS AND MARSHES) that enable people to get to their cabins, favourite berry picking areas and hunting areas. We are also asking those in government to open their eyes to the needs of rural Newfoundland by allowing ATV use on the sides of roads. The great majority ATV drivers are safe and responsible drivers and most wear their helmets and have insurance on their vehicles. The misuse and irresponsible driving of a few (mostly young people) is casting all ATV drivers and ATV use in a negative light. The media has been doing this for the last few years and never is there any discussion about the freedom and delight that so many people get from their All Terrain Vehicles. If you agree with this please sign below and give us a strong voice when we take our position to the government.
I have been reading your stories about the cabins and berry patches you hold dear and it is clear that this issue is much bigger than just trails. Please know that I am working to gather these thoughts into something that the people in power will actually have to read. This is completely your momentum and I am just doing my best to keep up with the passion you have all shown.

I am truly stunned by the level of support this has gathered and I never imagined so many people felt this same way. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I am just here trying to help us reach our goal. Thank you for showing me that our desire for fair trail access is shared across the province.

My husband uses his quad for berry picking and hunting every year. Why restrict us just cause of a few idiots messing around on the roads? so sick of the rules.

St John's doesnt understand how things work in rural areas. We need these trails to get to our cabins. Enough is enough.
