“When operating an OHV on public land, the vehicle must be registered, insured, have a licence plate, have a headlight and tail-light and an approved muffler,” explained Camrose County Protective Services manager/ Sergeant Mike Kuzio.
“The operation of pocket bikes, mini quads, power scooters or golf carts is prohibited from operation on any roadway by Provincial legislation.”
In accordance with the Traffic Safety Act, Section 120(2), persons are prohibited from operating offhighway vehicles on any portion of the highway. The highway includes the roadway surface, ditches, medians, and right-of-way up to the fenceline, as defined in the Act.
Further to that, Kuzio said that when operating an OHV on public lands, the operators must follow all traffic safety laws and rules of the road and abide by all traffic safety devices.
On a side note, Kuzio explained that mobility aids (electric scooter/wheelchairs) are allowed on all roadways, and laws which affect pedestrians also apply to mobility aids. • Never operate an OHV when using alcohol or drugs.
“Anyone operating an OHV while their ability to do so is impaired by alcohol or drugs will be charged the same as if operating any other motor vehicle,” noted Kuzio. • Prior to riding, inspect the ATV including: the brakes, liquids, tires, headlights and other safety equipment. • Familiarize yourself with of the terrain on which you are traveling, and be aware of any potential hazards. • Avoid riding during darker hours. • Follow posted signs, stay on the trails, and be aware of the weather and trail conditions.
“Remember, you must obtain permission from land owners to access any private land,” said Kuzio. “Private lands do not have to be posted or fenced. If it is private, you must obtain permission.”
After obtaining permission to ride on private land, remember to use respect and treat the property with the utmost care and consideration. Pack all your garbage out, do not have fires, cause as little damage or disruption to the land as possible and always leave gates and fences as you found them.
Always carry a cellular phone or working two-way radio with you and notify someone of your planned travel destination, when you will be leaving, and estimated time of return.

Central Agencies Realty Home of the Week
Victoria Park bungalow
By Lori Larsen
Located in Victoria Park, this fourbedroom, three-bathroom bungalow has been beautifully maintained and offers room for a growing family.
The immaculate yard and neat curb appeal will instantly tell you how well cared for this home has been.
Inside the home, laminate wood flooring follows through from the living area to the kitchen.
Curl up in front of the cozy gas fireplace in the living room or set up some comfy chairs in the front bay window and take in the warm sunshine.
You can easily entertain guests or keep an eye on children as you prepare meals in the open dining/kitchen area that features a peninsula where you can serve appetizers or snacks. Plenty of cabinets and a pantry offer lots of storage space and classic grey-toned backsplash tiles, and newer appliances add a crisp clean look.
Patio doors lead out to the back two-tiered deck and spectacular back yard that is completely fenced, landscaped and ready for summer leisure.
The main floor is complete with a good-sized primary bedroom with three-piece ensuite, two more bedrooms and four-piece main bathroom.
Downstairs there is even more space to accommodate the whole family with a huge family/games room area that features a wood-burning fireplace. Imagine a big screen television for movie night and maybe a ping pong or pool table for fun family gatherings. Another bedroom and two-piece bathroom would make an older child happy to have their own private space.
Enjoy the stress-free feeling of this move-in ready home located at 5414-60 Street and priced at $349,900. For a private viewing, contact Al-Karim (Al) Mohamed at:

I was at Jubilee Park and a lady loudly called out, “Anyone who wants an ice cream, come over here!” I quickly headed over along with several others.
