From Shilo Standing orders:
(and as mentioned every base is probably different.)
8.06 OPERATION OF OFF ROAD VEHICLES (ORV)
1. The purpose of this article is to define what constitutes an Off Road Vehicle (ORV),
identify the authorized use areas and the regulations governing the operation of ORVs at CFB
Shilo.
2. Definition. Off Road Vehicle - shall be construed as any vehicle registered for off road use and that carries an ORV license plate. As such ORVs shall include snowmobiles, all terrain cycles, all terrain vehicles, and all terrain motorcycles, etc.
3. Registration and Insurance (Liability).
a. It is mandatory in the Province of Manitoba for ORVs to be registered and insured through Autopac and as such all ORVs operated within the confines of CFB Shilo must have a current registration and the ORV license plate must be clearly visible; and
b. if you register your Off Road Vehicle through Autopac, you automatically get basic third party liability protection limit to $200,000, which is sufficient for ORV operation within the confines of CFB Shilo. However, basic third party liability coverage does not include protection for injuries, theft, or damage of your ORV. You should contact Autopac for explanation of extra insurance coverage.
c. all ORV’s will register with the community recreation office in the community centre. There are two types of registration, regular and member:
(i) regular- no registration fee, limiting use on Base to go to/from work, Canex, off base (see map); or
(ii) Member- for a minimum fee an individual can become a member of the recreation vehicle club entitling them to use the ORV race track and all routes on Base to go to/from work, Canex, off Base (see map).
4. Operation Areas and Regulations.
a. The operation of ORVs within the confines of CFB Shilo is restricted to the designated Authorized ORV Routes and Area 4 ORV Recreation Area, as indicated on the map at Annex A;
b. Area 4 is that area which extends south from Horsham Road, approximately 2 kms to the fireguard, with Highway #340 as the west boundary and Freundschaftesweg Road as the east boundary. Access to this area is by the Authorized ORV Route;
g. Manitoba Public Insurance (Autopac); and
h. Manitoba Highway Traffic Act.
6. There is no requirement to obtain a range pass before entering Area 4 on an ORV.
However, anyone found outside the boundary of this Area is subject to trespass regulations and may be formally charged. It should be noted that Area A is the small arms impact area. Not only is use of that area by ORVs prohibited, it would be foolhardy and dangerous.
