    Draft Bylaw 1153/12 - Community Standards

Since April of 2011, Lacombe County has been developing a bylaw to regulate and control Off-highway vehicles (OHV) on Highways and Municipal lands within Lacombe County.  Currently under the Alberta Traffic Safety Act, unless the local municipality has a bylaw allowing the operation of OHVs on highways, this activity is unlawful.  The goal of the Lacombe County bylaw, therefore, is to enable uses of OHVs not currently allowed by Provincial legislation.

Council directed that another open house will be held on June 6, 2012.

For a chronology of the evolution of this bylaw, and the current draft version of the Bylaw, see the documents below:
