Town of Grimshaw Bylaw Bulletin

Off-Highway Vehciles Prohibited in Town of Grimshaw Limits

All residents are reminded that Off Highways Vehicles are prohibited from operating within the Town of Grimshaw.

An “off highway vehicle” means any motorized vehicle designated for cross-country travel on land, water, snow, ice, marsh or swamp land or on other natural terrain and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, includes, when specifically designed for such travel,

·         four wheel drive or low pressure tire vehicles

·          motor cycles and related 2 wheel vehicles

·          amphibious machines

·          all-terrain vehicles

·         miniature motor cycles

·         snow vehicles

·         mini bikes

·         and any other means of transportation that is propelled by any power other than muscular power or wind.

 More common names are quads, dirt bikes, Argo’s, pocket bikes, go carts etc.

An especially troubled area is the drainage ditch located on the west side of town. Residents should know that this area is still within Town limits. Should you have any questions about the Town limits please don’t hesitate to call the Town office for clarification.

Should you be caught operating an off highway vehicle within town limits you may be subject to a fine. If you have a complaint of an off highway vehicle being operated in Town, please file a complaint with the Bylaw Enforcement Officer or after hours to the RCMP. You should be prepared to have information such as type of off-highway vehicle, plate number, description of driver with possible name/civic address. Without this information chances are by the time someone responds the operator will be gone and our chances of enforcement are limited.
