The 4WDABC.ca received an email from the RO of the Peace region and it reinforced the opinion that the association needs much more representation from outside the greater Vancouver area.
Is there any interest from the Donkeys in talking to government types regarding access issues and trail issues, basically conveying the idea that 4 wheelers in general are responsible people who enjoy the backcountry.....
The following is the content of the letter;
"I was conversing with Mike Peters (District Recreation Officer, Chilliwack) and he had referred me to your web page. Talking with Mike he had mentioned that he had made good relations with your association and that this is helping with the image of 4x4 and some of the concerns around environmental respect.
I am the RO in the Peace region. In the Peace there is no shortage of mud, and where there is mud there is lots of fun and mischief to be had. The Peace has an overabundance of industrial development (forestry & oil and gas). The Pease also has a wide diversity of recreationalist both motorized and non motorized. For the most part I have captured most of the motorized and non motorized groups. However, I am not aware of any official 4x4 clubs in this area, but I do get lots of correspondence from other users about 4x4er’s and not usually good.
Would you be able to send me some information about your association that I could display and hand out to the public. I will be partnering with the local ATV and Snowmobile club at the Fort St John Trade Show (April 16, 17, 18) and this would be a great opportunity to make contact with the 4x4er’s and illustrate the benefits of being organized and having a say in their recreational sport.
Please let me know what your thoughts are.
