DGATV had a great turn out of almost 60 bikes for this lovely autumn ride through our north area trails.
The two groups lunched at the Harkaway Forest with food provided by the Flesherton Scouts and the proceeds from their sales going to support their activities.
Proceeds from the ride in the amount of $1,144.16 were donated to the Markdale Food Bank along with non-perishable food items that were collected.
DGATV’s 8th annual Canada Day ride attracted 27 bikes who went out in one happy group.
The group welcomed two guest OPP officers who joined us for part of our ride.
Riders were happy to raise $640 to support Canadian veterans in need, which will be donated through CVFR.
Thanks to all riders who participated and organized this popular annual ride. We couldn’t do it without you!
A fabulous bunch of 54 ATV/side-by-side riders and friends gathered for this charity ride on Saturday, June 3, 2023.
The weather was fine and two groups headed out to travel around Grey County with one looping Flesherton and Eugenia, and the other heading towards Hoggs Falls.
The Grey Highlands Firefighter Volunteers from the Markdale Station set up at Harkaway Forest to offer a hot lunch with proceeds going towards their fundraising efforts to upgrade their emergency use UTV.
DGATV riders were happy to contribute $1,100 to our featured charities.
DGATV representatives presented Flesherton Food Bank with a $550 donation and 200lbs of grocery items. The funds will be used to purchase hamburg to help 50 families with 91 adults and 53 children. The food bank conveys appreciation to all the members of our club.
DGATV also donated $550 to the McPhail School Breakfast Club, who were very appreciative of the funds.
DGATV thanks all our Volunteers, Directors, Wardens, Landowners, Sponsors and Riders … we couldn’t do it without You!
It was cold and wet, but those who dressed for it had fun!
Thank you to all who came out and supported the Chatsworth Outreach Program. We presented a cheque for $950.00 and a trunk load of food.

President Dave Ernest was able to meet up with the CVFR LRRP GBOS to present them with a cheque for $1,020 consisting of proceeds and donations from DGATV’s members and guests from our Canada Day fundraising ride. The money will go towards helping Veterans in need in Grey and Bruce counties.
Special thanks to all who attended the ride and helped raise money for such a great cause.

In 2020 DGATV’s Board of Directors pledged to support and protect the trumpeter swans that live by the trail during the summer.
To that end, Dave E. built a floating platform for Chatsworth Marsh, which he and volunteers installed on July 29th.
Hopefully the swans will take to preening themselves in the sun on the platform and not on the trail.
