Welcome to DGATV’s 2022 ATV & Side-by-side Riding Season!

The season starts May 1st and runs to November 30th weather permitting.  Currently the trails are looking good and seem likely to open on time.

DGATV begins this year with a relatively new Board of Directors after the Annual General Meeting last month welcoming four brand new Directors to help run the club.

Many thanks to all past Directors for their commitment to the club and hard work in keeping DGATV viable and running smoothly for the past 15 years.

Special thanks to Tim Allen who is stepping down as Director after more than 11 years on the Executive with 8 of those years as DGATV’s President.  Tim is staying active with the club and will continue to help out and advise as Past President.  We thank Tim for his dedication and for all that he has done for DGATV and the sport of ATVing in Ontario.

DGATV’s Executive meets on the third Wednesday of every month excluding December.  The next meeting is planned for April 20th at a location to be determined when the Executive will choose a new President and assign duties to Directors.

This season promises to be invigorating as we ramp up after two years of the province’s pandemic response.  So far we have a few dates put aside (calendar subject to change so stay tuned).

Scheduled Events
  • DGATV Executive Meeting (April 20, 2022 at 7pm)
  • DGATV Season Start (May 1, 2022) weather permitting
  • Harkaway Forest Opens (May 25, 2022)
