I vote we become an  "Official Partner Club - $250 annually"  ASAP
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

Oh its been a team effort but truely the pres John has been the big push to get this into Canada......Hopefully very soon I can let you all know when the memberships will be accepted....

Bear in mind that club and individual memberships are not the same. A club will have membersip as an organization but the individual will need to have their own as well if they so choose....The infastructure is very similar to the U.S. and as such memberships I beleive will be structured the same way.

More on all of this as we figure it out.......

+1 on the partner club idea. Wheeling responsibly is a core value for our club.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Good call there Ian ;).  If I were still a CJA member you'd have my vote ;D.

I will be putting in for an individual membership & also membership as a dealer ASAP!

Bear, please keep us posted :).

Can somebody please explain to me why we need an American organization like Tread Lightly in Alberta?

The point is (I believe) to open up more land as designated off-highway area in this province, and protect what is already there.

If this is what we are looking for  - the organization that has the final say in these matters is the Alberta SRD. The informed realize that we (4x4 clubs and organizations) need to work WITH the SRD, and within their rules and mindset.

The SRD has their own campaign, similar to "Tread Lightly". It is called Respect the Land.

The whole Tread Lightly thing irks the SRD guys I know, as they know it is from the States, and most of them think it isn't a "made in Alberta" solution. If you follow the tread lightly principles to the letter - none of us would ever go wheeling in this province.

So - would somebody please explain to me how Tread Lightly is going to keep land open in this province? I really want to know - because from where I am standing, membership in Tread Lightly is contentious with the very government bodies I am currently working with.

I'm not trying to ruffle feathers - but I really want to know why becoming involved with Tread Lightly is a good idea.
