Alberta Recreation Corridors Legislation Review Update

The Alberta government is currently studying the potential of creating new legislation making it easier to create trails throughout the province of Alberta. Subjects they are looking at include liability of the trail operator, enforcement, registration, and the effects of a trail to the adjacent landowners. The idea is that if this legislation is enabled, municipalities, etc., will have less red tape to deal with, and not as many departments will have to get involved in each little stretch of trail.

An initial report has been completed and the Minister of Alberta Community Development, Gene Zwozdesky, is seeking input from Albertans on the Alberta Recreation Corridors Legislative Review – Report to the Minister of Community Development

To get more information check out The Government of Alberta's Recreation Corridors web site.   At this web site is the News Release describing the initiative.  

Take note that many of the major issues are different than what we encountered in the Bighorn review. Many of the corridors that are being considered travel through populated rural Alberta. The issues being raised involve noise, trespassing, loss of privacy, vandalism and liability. When filling out the workbooks and writing letters consider these issues that face the folks that own land and live adjacent to these corridors.

Our image as motorized recreationist is being put to the test. Let the rest of Alberta know we are just normal folks like themselves.

Let them know:
