HERE IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE (ESPECIALLY FOR MEMBERS OF REGION 2) FROM BEN CYR, NBATVF TRAIL COORDINATOR

Hi to all,

Last night I was contacted by a sub contractor for NB Power that some logging activity will take place from October 23, 2017 to December 20, 2017 on the rail bed in Kedgwick for a distance of about 837 meters. It is behind "Arpin Porte et Fenêtre" and route 17 by the Irving Service Station. NB Power is working to build a new power line parallel to route 17 up to Whites Brook. The trail will not be closed but this is to advise riders to ride slowly in that particular area cause there might be logging trucks in the area from time to time, so be very careful. The logging company will install the proper signage on the trail.

Ben

Trail coordinator for NBATVF

The local club in this case is Nashwaak Valley ATV club that will be requested to install "Trail Closed" signs at both ends of their trails for the above dates specified. The Vallard Company will also have their signage installed for same area. Their maps, kmz file and license of Occupation were sent by email to the Federation.

If you would like to see the other documents that were sent to the Federation such as their license of occupation, please contact Natasha Landry at (506) 472-5130.

Reminder: The NBATVF has posted a job offer about a month and a half ago.  The Federation is looking for a Bilingual Trail Coordinator.  The last day to submit your application is TODAY.  However, there was a mistake in one of the offers. The email was misspelled.  I have modified and attached the job offer again.  If you are intersted, please send your application one of the following emails:  jacques.poirier@nbatving.com or info@nbatving.com .

Have a great weekend!
