Canada’s Off-Road Community Unites for June Safety Campaign: “Stay Safe. Respect the Trails.”
The Canadian Motorcycle Association (CMA), the Canadian Quad Council (CQC), and Moto Canada are proud to recognize June as Off-Road Safety Month, bringing together riders and trail users across Canada around a shared commitment to safer riding and responsible trail stewardship.
This year’s campaign marks a stronger, more collaborative national effort. For the first time, CMA, CQC, Moto Canada, and fourteen provincial partner organizations are working together coast to coast to amplify one clear message: Stay Safe. Respect the Trails.
The campaign reflects the realities of off-road riding and the importance of being prepared before heading out. Whether riding an off-road motorcycle, ATV, or side-by-side, participants are reminded to wear proper protective gear, inspect their vehicles, ride within their skill level, stay on designated trails, and remain alert to changing terrain, wildlife, and other trail users.
“Off-road riding is built on preparation, awareness, and respect,” said Landon French, CEO and President of Moto Canada. “This year’s campaign brings partners together behind a common message that speaks directly to riders and the trail systems they value. When we work collectively, we can make a stronger impact and help protect the future of off-road riding in Canada.”
“Trail safety is a shared responsibility,” said Todd Sharpless, President of the Canadian Motorcycle Association. “Every rider has a role to play, from choosing the right terrain to wearing the proper gear and riding with care. June is an important reminder that safe riding habits and respect for the trails help keep these spaces open and enjoyable for everyone.”
