ATV USE WITHIN TOWN LIMITS
Please be a Responsible RIDER
The Town would like to remind residents and ATV operators of the rules regarding ALL-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) use within Town Limits.
Under the Town's Traffic Bylaw:
- ATVs may be operated on roadways ONLY when leaving or returning to Town.
- Permitted hours are 8:00am to 11:00pm.
- ATVs are NOT permitted on public property, in parks, on greenspaces, or at the Sports Grounds.
Parents and Caregivers - Please Take Note
These rules also apply to compact ATVs and youth quads. While these vehicles may be smaller, they can still reach high speeds and pose a risk to riders and other residents.
Although the Town cannot enforce certain safety requirements, including helmet use, rider limits or operator age, violations may be reported to the RCMP and may result in a ticket.
For everyone's safety, all operators and passengers are strongly encouraged to:
- Wear appropriate safety equipment.
- Follow the manufacturers recommended rider capacity.
- Operate vehicles responsibly and with consideration for others.
Thank you for helping keep our community safe, respectful and enjoyable for everyone.
Animal Control Issues
Please be a Responsible Pet Owner
If you have a problem with a pet in your neighborhood, and would like the Bylaw Control Officer to check up on the situation, please complete the Nuisance Animal Complaint Form attached below and submit it to the Town Office. If you submit an animal complaint form it will outline your issue, you will need to sign the complaint and if the issue goes to court you could be asked to testify. It is rare that an animal control issue goes to court - when the Bylaw Control officer attends the residence, she will assess the situation and issue a warning. If the warning is not in compliance by her next visit - a fine will be issued. If the fines are not addressed, then court action may follow.
Some guidelines to follow to avoid a visit from the Bylaw Control Officer:
1) Register your pet with the Town of Springside. A dog/cat license is $10.00 annually or $50 for the lifetime of the animal. Pet License renewals are due January 1st of each year and must be paid by February 1st of each year. An animal that has been deemed a dangerous animal by any jurisdiction can NOT be registered or kept withing the Town of Springside. The Pet Registration Form is attached below.
2) Pets are not allowed to be off leash and unattended as per Bylaw 2025-05. If your pet is outside, please ensure that it is on a secure tether.
3) Clean up after your pet! If you are walking your dog, please clean up behind it! Animal waste bags are conveniently located around town on or near public garbage cans.
The Town of Springside understands that family pets are family. We only request that each resident acts as a responsible pet owner. For your reference the Animal Care and Control Bylaw 2025-05 is attached below.
