Over the last few years, Canada's wildfires have become worse and worse thanks to climate change. Yes, I said it, it's a fact, get over it so we can figure out what to do next.
And because of those fires, as well as the increasingly prevalent nature of them, Canadian officials have taken more drastic steps to reduce and mitigate the chances of people causing those wildfires. That's included things like bans on fireworks, open flames, campfires and more. And one that affects the powersports world has been temporary bans on recreational vehicles like UTVs and ATVs, as even with spark arrestors, they can cause ignition events.
As was the case since May of this year, as Canadian officials battled wildfires in the province of Saskatchewan. That initial ban, however, has been lifted—H/T to our friends at UTV Driver—and UTV and ATV drivers can once again roam Canada's public trails freely. Though they're reminded that humans lead the cause of wildfires, and that they should take care to prevent such starts.
