Advantages of joining of ATV/BC and your Local Club. ATV/BC 1) Prior to ATV/BC forming, insurance rates were in the $600.00 plus range for Off- Road machines. It was the strength of memberships that convinced the agents to reduce the rates. Without a strong representation we will lose this advantage. 2) In 2009 ATV/BC helped this community in the following; - Branch 41 ATV/BC have signed on our behalf a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy to allow us to maintain access and to stop total de- activition of this road system. - ATV/BC donated $3,000 for the replacement of the Blue Trail Bridges 3) ATV/BC is working with the Government on your behalf to keep our right of access and continued growth. 4) ATV/BC provides many events across the Province to join in and enjoy. 5) ATV/BC is providing support for the approval of under 16 yr kids to have the right to ride and training programs in the local school system. To date 220 local Elementary Students have gone through this program presented by your Local Club (Powell River ATV Club). Powell River ATV Club 1) Is currently at 170 members. We provide numerous events for the family through out the year. We are a family club. 2) The Wednesday Trail Group in 2009 did approx. 3300 hours of trail work and the construction of many shelters for your enjoyment. The funds from this comes from your $15.00 membership. 3) We are working with other local clubs and government agencies to ensure our access. We are currently sitting on 6 local committees including, Western Forest, Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts, Regional District Greenspace committee and the Outdoor Recreational User Group. 4) Teaching local Elementary Students Safety and Environmental stewardship - 220 to date. ATV/BC fees Membership - $40.00 Secondary Member - $25.00 Family Membership - $75.00 - PRATV Fees Membership $15.00. Is it not worth the extra $15.00 to keep the advantages continuing and increasing.
