    2024/09/20

    The City of Corner Brook recently added new streets to the list of those on which all-terrain vehicles are permitted. Some of the added streets are now in effect, while others will go into effect in May of 2025. The machines were first allowed on a designated route in the city in 2019. We spoke with Craig Borden, co-owner of Rugged Edge, which offers guided ATV tours.

We spoke with Pamela Gill, a city councillor and the only member of Corner Brook city council to vote against the new routes.
