Town of Westville looking at ATV bylaws

Jul 2, 2026 | Local News

The town of Westville is taking early steps towards drafting its own by-laws concerning operation of ATV’s and other  off highway  vehicles within the town.   

At last night’s monthly meeting, Deputy Mayor Mitchell MacGregor noted that the province has left it to the municipalities to set their own rules for OHV operation, and that the town of Pictou has already begun a pilot project which has expanded to allowing  OHV’s  on all streets under certain conditions. After some discussion, council asked staff to begin the process, starting by  coming up with  a way to survey residents to gauge support of a  possible by-law  allowing  OHV’s  to  operate  within town.
