Changes to Elkford’s off-road vehicle bylaw are coming soon, but the mayor said they offer more clarity around existing laws.
The existing bylaw was adopted in 2006 and predates the BC Off-Road Vehicle Act that was implemented in 2015.
One change to the bylaw involves removing the annual district issued permit and fee since an RCMP permit is already required.
There is also a clear designation of trails within the district’s authority.
This bylaw has been in place,” said Mayor Steve Fairbairn.
“There are no rights or privileges being taken away.”
The bylaw amendments are expected to be adopted during the April 13 council meeting.
