Hello Everyone,

It’s spring time! At least according to the calendar! With that being said, I hope you all had a good winter; maybe you got some snowmobiling in? Well now it’s time to get out your SxS and ATV’s and get together and enjoy what nature has to offer! We will be checking out the Eastman ATV trail shortly and getting it opened for the riding season.

Last year we had a great year with many members, some new, and many who have been with us for many seasons. We thank you all for your continued support. And now it’s time to renew your membership with Eastman ATV.  You can go to our website and renew by using this link https://eastmanatv.com/product/membership-2025

Last fall we sent out a survey regarding our rides and our ride director Ryan has come up with a new ride schedule for the upcoming season that reflects much of the feedback. Some wanted a longer ride, now there is one. Some wanted to attend the night ride but couldn’t, now there are 2 to choose from; one in Woodridge and one in Eastman. Feedback from the camping weekend was largely positive, so it’s back and we’re hoping to have an evening communal bonfire at the campground. Attached you will find the 2025 Ride Schedule with 9 rides this season including 4 BBQ’s as well. We look forward to seeing you all again on the trails.

It is also time for our AGM, being held April 26 at the Eastman staging area. We will be having our meeting, followed by a BBQ, then the ride off to the beautiful Whitemouth River area. We look forward to having you all there. We have 2 board positions that currently need to be filled. If you are interested in joining the board and helping our team we would like to hear from you prior to April 22nd, our last meeting before the AGM.

We’re looking into getting the safety course for ATV’s rescheduled, and we’re hopeful they will have the SxS version available this season, but that still needs to be confirmed. If you have interest in taking either course, we will have 20 positions available this season. They will be at no cost to you and only available to members. Date, time and location will be announced at a later date.

Last year was our first year that we got funding from the government to help with the trail rehabilitation and development. We will be getting that funding again and hope to fix up a lot more of the trail we have and are hoping to be able to acquire more areas also. If you’re interested in helping out, please let us know on your membership application.

We look forward to seeing everyone out again this season.

Thank You
Roland Fillion
President Eastman ATV.
