Established in 2006, a succession of keen riders have taken the helm of Dufferin Grey ATV Club Inc (DGATV) on the Board of Directors. We thank each and every one, past and present, for their contribution to the successful operation of our club.
The Board of Directors are responsible for directing DGATV’s operations. The Board sets the policies, priorities, strategy, and upcoming events for the season. The Board is responsible for dealing with the Ontario Federation of ATV Clubs (OFATV), all levels of government, the police, landowners, sponsors, communities and members.
DGATV’s Board of Directors meet at 7pm on the third Wednesday of every month excluding December. The Markdale Library is located at 75 Walker Street, Markdale, ON, N0C 1H0. Other Volunteers, members and prospective members are welcome.
We have 7 Directors with two-year terms (3-4 split in alternate years). If you are interested in becoming a Director you must be a member on record with DGATV for at least 3 months and stand at our annual general meeting (held in March). The Directors vote for the President and Vice-President on an annual basis. Other positions are Treasurer, Chief Warden, Events Coordinator, Membership Coordinator and Trail Captain. The Secretary is a non-voting position. Directors can be contacted via info@dgatv.ca or by calling 519.266.3559.
