Bill 6, agricultural land access
Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2015 6:21 pm
I thought I'd throw this out to offroaders, considering that the hunting and outdoor forums are blowing up over some perceived consequences of the proposed Bill 6.
What the general fear is that if Bill 6 labels all agricultural land as a 'worksite' then access will be denied/altered from the way it is today. Does this affect offroaders...only in the fact that there seems to be an increased resistance to events being held on forestry lands in the SW corner of the province. If landowners such as the Turner's open their door, to fill the void for absent events, it sounds like they would be unable to do so, given current WCB and OHS rules for access to a work site. I am not saying this is gospel, what I'm saying is that there is serious concern about the bill, and a call to the leg, your mla or an email inquiring how this may roll, might be a good idea.
