Maga awesome day on the sxs today...along with a bunch of other people. Everyone smiling and keeping there distance, lots of room for everyone to obey the rules and Enjoy what we love doing. I didn’t even have to pull down one stupid road block put up by our enforcement sheep.

Glad to hear that you and lots of others could escape the madness of humans... Ha

Same for a few of us when we do a short pre-scout of the West Country...

It will be our own Camps that get to decide how it goes down...

Pretty simple... Ha

Alberta better not mirror this.
Ontario banned camping on crown land, under the emergency act.

If people want to loose more than understand what is essential and non essential travel.
Very easy to close all dump stations in Alberta.

Only for a short time.

TORONTO — To help stop the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of people across the province, the Ontario government has extended all emergency orders that have been put in place to-date under s.7.0.2 (4) of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act until April 23, 2020, including the closure of outdoor amenities in parks and recreational areas, non-essential workplaces, public places and bars and restaurants, along with restrictions on social gatherings and the prohibition of price gouging.

In addition, new measures have been introduced to address surge capacity in retirement homes, restrict recreational camping on Crown land, and allow the repurposing of existing buildings and temporary structures. All of these actions are based on the advice of Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health.

social distancing at 8000ft. Can anyone confirm this?

Yep. With albertas amendments to the emergency act, anything can happen.

The nail in the coffin for random camping would be the closure of RV dump stations.

To save on disposable gloves people will dump their sewer in the parking lot after getting groceries then leave the gloves laying in their feces.

They could at least dump as they go down the highway.
Greener ditches and bigger wild strawberries.
Hmmmmmm better not give out stupid ideas or some one will justify and do it.........

My dad always dumps his in the ditch in front of his property in the country. He has the greenest grass.....

Than a ban on camping on crown land would happen, there is a closure on all provincial park campgrounds right now, so where would people go to camp. I guess some like ruining it for others.

The towns own the sani dumps so why would a town want out of towners using facilities when non essential travel is being asked to be minimized.

No different than sled towns asking people to stay home.

As I said, I hope this virus burns out on its own.

I really hope people don't screw it up for others. There are tons of private camps in the south country and we have one of those camps. If they close the bush then the private camps will probably not open either and that would be real crappy. Time will tell as most camps open early May

That would just be stupid because people would still dump their tanks.
