Quad Squad bridges, not fences

ATV Safety

Our club has 2 ATV Safety Instructors certified by the Canada Safety Council.

Conservation Awareness

The Crowsnest Pass, South Western Alberta, and South Eastern British Columbia are in North America's spotlight of conservation issues. We believe in the importance of Industry, Agriculture and Recreation sharing the land. We as ATV riders must observe all the rules, staying on trails, keeping out of riparian areas, stewardship of the land, and the respect of use by others.

Children and ATV's - Parent/Supervisor

• When combining your kids and quads their safety becomes your responsibility.
• Educate yourself about ATV safety and proper riding techniques before attempting to teach your youngster.
• Avoid unsafe situations through close supervision.
• Riders shoud always wear D.O.T. approved helmets, eye protection, gloves, long pants, long sleeved shirts or jackets and over the ankle boots.
• Provide proper equipment for your child. The manufacturer and Alberta Safety Councile recommends that riders between 6 and 11 years use quads under 70cc. Riders between 12 and 15 years use 70 to 90cc and riders 16 years and older use greater than 90cc.
