Hi All,
Surprised this hasn't been posted yet, but Mclean and Waiparous are closed indefinitely due to COVID-19

Anyways, no where to ride for now locally as Wild Rose is also closed.
Alberta Fire Protection Area Closure
Re: Alberta Fire Protection Area Closure
Yep a bit of a shock, for sure. I can (sort of) understand the potential for staffing issues, but obviously this is social engineering. there is more snow than I've seen in years, and Albertas' wettest month still ahead. I think there is a near complete disregard for peoples emotional well being. The value of being able to recreate responsibly on an OHV and what that can do for a persons physical and emotional health matters. These are dark times for many, and a small source of light has been extinguished.
It is worth noting that this does not come from AEP, but rather the ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. I miss the days when forestry was a part of ESRD...
Glad I own a plated bike...

What surprised me most was that they claim April/May are peak fire season here. I have a very hard time believing this is factual, as it is typically still wet and not our peak for lightning.
Re: Alberta Fire Protection Area Closure
OHV use has been moved from prohibited to allowed on the https://www.albertafirebans.ca/ website.
Great job by the AOHVA and everyone on ensuring we can get out and recreate responsibly!

That is not what I just read on the Alberta website. Could you direct to where you read the update?

update: OK i see if you click on the forest area fireban it shows OHV allowed. Weird. Conflicting info, I hope the fish cops are aware of the new rule..
