Dufferin Grey ATV Club Inc. was incorporated in 2006. That means 2017 is our eleventh year of operation.
Our signs are starting to show our age!
Along the trail you will see signs that have deteriorated. Plywood backing has rotted and dropped our signs upon the ground.
Rest assured that our Volunteers are fixing them.
Our Volunteers are also mowing the grass along the trail and trimming the grass around the signs. However, this year with so much intermittent rain, it is hard to line up the Volunteers with the equipment and the sunshine. So be patient — we are working on it.
If you can’t be patient then Volunteer to help! We are also happy to provide community hours for students.
Even an afternoon of painting posts, trimming the grass around sign posts, or taking fallen trees and brush off the trail (if you have your chainsaw licence) is a help.
Or simply report the problem area to us by sending a photo and location details to info@dgatv.ca to ensure that we know where it is.
So look forward to seeing our brand new signs on the trail, and if you want to help out don’t hesitate to call!
(Thanks to Jake for the shown repair and photos.)

DGATV’s Directors viewed the new trailer at last night’s (July 19th) Executive meeting. This new addition will solve much of the difficulty in getting tools and materials to remote locations along the trail for maintenance. The trailer has been equipped with a hydraulic lift and will be invaluable for dumping rocks and gravel for hole repair.
