Today, August 13, 2025, the provincial government has imposed a ban on the use of all off road vehicles in forested areas in high fire index areas – which currently encompasses most of the province. This includes Marystown and the surrounding areas.
This includes ATVs, side-by-sides, mini-bikes, dirt bikes, trail bikes, miniature vehicles like dune or sports buggies, off-road maintenance machines, and amphibious vehicles.
The ban is in place until Sunday, August 17 at which time it will be reviewed.
The Town would also like to emphasize the importance of not smoking in wooded areas. Please do your part in making sure our area is kept as safe as possible during these dry conditions!
