COHV Applauds the Federal Government Investment in Trails Infrastructure

TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
The Canadian Off-Highway Vehicle Distributors Council (COHV) as a member
of the National Trails Coalition (NTC) wants trail groups across Canada
to know that the application forms and guidelines to access the
Government of Canada's $25 million investment in recreational trails is
now available on the National Trails Coalition website www.ntc-canada.ca
or www.cns-canada.ca.

"New trail infrastructure provides a safe venue for a variety of trail
users and creates local economic development opportunities, particularly
in rural and northern Canada," stated Bob Ramsay, President of the COHV.
"The NTC believes that trail users and volunteer trail builders/managers
can achieve much more by working collaboratively and the announced $25
million in federal funding will significantly increase the level of trail
building in the coming year."

The responsible use of off-highway vehicles (OHVs) is of great interest
to the COHV, its member manufacturers such as Arctic Cat, BRP (Can-Am),
Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Polaris, Suzuki, Yamaha, their distributors and the
not-for-profit ATV and Off-road motorcycle rider federations that have
developed across the country.

COHV works closely with the national All-Terrain Quad Council of Canada
(AQCC), the national Motorcyclists Confederation of Canada (MCC) and
provincial ATV and off-road motorcycle rider federations to develop and
expand core values through initiatives that offer solutions to concerns
related to respecting private landowner properties, responsible
environmental practices and rider safety and training.

"Our vision and that of our rider clubs and federations is one of a
comprehensive linked, multi-use trail network developed through
partnerships with all stakeholders," commented Ramsay. "With health and
physical fitness being top of mind for most families and for the health
care system in Canada, we believe this is a great opportunity for all
stakeholders to prove that being out on the trails, whether through
non-motorized or motorized recreational use, is not only fun but
contributes to individual and family well-being."

The Canadian Off-Highway Vehicle Distributors Council (COHV), originally
founded in 1984 is the national not-for-profit trade association that
represents the responsible interests of manufacturers and distributors of
all-terrain vehicles and off-road motorcycles in Canada. Together, over
three million Canadians ride an ATV or off-road motorcycle on a regular
basis each year. Find out more at: www.cohv.ca.
