Membership to the Manitoba ATV Community

 Welcome back to, the time of year, when we renew our commitment to our ATV community. It’s becoming more evident that “organization” is making a big difference in our relationships with fellow motorized and non-motorized outdoor enthusiasts.  As the government is preparing to invest in our community, we recognize the value of belonging to an ATV club. With  ATVMB ( our provincial federation ), developing ATV clubs, and working to find good answers to challenges, this has supported the province in reaching a positive decision. So please, if you have ever considered joining an ATV club in Manitoba, now is the time. It matters! Any club, which is  part of ATVMB, will to some degree, be recognized financially. Membership numbers will be of value. 

Eastman ATV Membership

 Membership will be open February 1st. 

We have included a short survey. This information is intended to increase support for our organization, equipment, volunteers, and safety concerns. The intention is to share nationally (all names will be removed), in order to identify possible improvements that would benefit our club. The survey  may also help a sponsor realize  that supporting  our organization has value.

Volunteers

 We have many members who join Eastman ATV to support our cause and we are grateful for every membership we receive. Our intention is not to make anyone feel  obligated to volunteer. Some of our members  like to volunteer and some are considering volunteering. We wanted to give some clarity on the volunteering positions that are available.  We are always willing to talk to anyone who wants more information  before joining. Last year we had a volunteer clean up and ended up raising $800 dollars. It was an easy, enjoyable morning. We have a role for you, if you want it.

News on our AGM and the Eastman ATV Ride for Mom will be coming soon…

Happy New Year to you and your families. I hope you were able to spend time together and see friends and loved ones. My family brings to mind my ATV family, and the many friends we all have with each other. Eat well, enjoy those around you, and we can all look forward to seeing each other in the 2023 riding season.

Eastman ATV welcomes the new year with interest and excitement. 

The BIG NEWS 

It’s looking like ATVMB will  get provincial funding based on a proposal ATVMB put forward a number of years ago. The proposal was  inclusive with the snowmobile federation. The bill that has passed 1st reading will help both federations. It is still a year or 2 before we see an impact, if the bill passes. So great news but nothing is final yet.

Why join an ATV club?

In Eastman ATVs Constitution and Bylaws we have;

Article 2. Purpose To promote and practice safe and environmentally responsible ATV riding, to protect ATV access to public land, (in summary). The Number of members in organized ORV clubs is becoming more important now than ever before,especially  as we move forward with the ATVMB.

2023 Eastman ATV membershipswill soon be available online and will have an attached survey.  We appreciate your help in building a club identity. Once you are a member,you will get both the Eastman ATV Monthly Update ( this email ), and the Eastman ATV Ride Update, sent out 7 to 3 days before our rides, pending storms. Give a friend or relative the gift of membership.  

We will again provide the Ride Schedule once we have membership open. It will give the scheduled locations with dates for the ATV rides for the year. We know we have a large number of members that attend few, if any rides, and may not be involved at all in the club. Thank you for joining or re-joining; your membership support is greatly appreciated. For those of you joining us for the rides, Let the good times Roll, it’s going to be a fun year!  

See our store for hats, T-shirts, jackets and our 2023 Calendar, I love it. Give a friend or relative the gift of membership.  We have exciting announcements on offering additional  ride styles, stay tuned.

Its is going to be a fantastic year
