Thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________ There is an important event occurring on Wednesday, July 14th. It is the belief of many Nova Scotians that there is an unnecessary amount of injury and damage to people, private property and to the environment as a result of unrestricted recreational All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) use. Nova Scotians feel that some form of control on how these vehicles are used will help to reduce these negative impacts while still allowing enthusiasts to enjoy their sport in a safe and responsible manner. After extensive public consultation, the Voluntary Planning Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Task Force released an interim report this year. This report makes 48 recommendations about the safe and responsible use of ATV/OHVs in Nova Scotia. These recommendations reflect suggestions made by concerned Nova Scotians, and attempt to balance the recreational activities of ATV/OHV users with the rights of other Nova Scotians. This report has recently come under much attack from the ATV community. On July 14th, a press conference will be held to support the Task Force report. This is your chance to show your support for meaningful regulations governing ATV use in Nova Scotia. Your participation in this event is very important, as this event will only happen once. We would like to see as many concerned citizens as possible attend the event, to show their support for the Task Force report. The press conference will be held at the Old Orchard Inn in Wolfville. Stakeholders from various organizations will be speaking to demonstrate their support for reasonable controls on ATV use in Nova Scotia. Here is a link to the Inn's website: http://www.oldorchardinn.ns.ca/home.htm. Maps can be found on the site. The press conference will begin at 11:00 am. Please arrive at least 15 minutes early to find a seat. If you need a refresher on the Task Force report, go to: http://www.gov.ns.ca/vp/ohv/interim-report.htm. We would like to see as many people as possible turn out to this event. Please feel free to bring other members of your organization, or other concerned citizens. With your support, we can help to get ATV use in Nova Scotia under control. See you on July 14th! Citizens For Responsible ATV Use (CRATVU) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
