SilverDoctor Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Officers to step up enforcement over May long weekend Posted: May 20, 2016 9:04 AM MT Last Updated: May 20, 2016 10:02 AM MT Here The province says it will step up its enforcement of careless ATV users in high-use areas this summer on public lands and in provincial parks. The goal is to keep riders from going off marked trails and tearing up and down streams, says Alberta Parks spokesman Tim Chamberlin. Alberta fire and OHV ban lifted for areas south of Lac La Biche Kananaskis bear sightings have official urging caution "We'll have fish and wildlife officers, our conservation officers in concert with some other law enforcement groups that will be making a concentrated effort to not only promote awareness but to enforce the rules and regulations," he said. Gary Clark, president of the Quad Squad — a recreational club in the Crowsnest Pass — says while more officers are welcome, the way offences are prosecuted needs to change. The province should first set specified penalties and then allow conservation officers to issue them like traffic tickets, he said. "Once that happened a few times it wouldn't take long for everybody to realize they shouldn't be going through the water," he said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
