• Council Advisory - Posted April 3 - Correction - In a letter sent to all residents by Council earlier this year, residents were informed that they could legally ride ATV within 100 meters either side of an intersection.  We have since learned that this is not the case.  The NL Government regulation states that ATVers may ride ACROSS a highway ONLY if there is 300 feet VISIBILITY in both directions.  

         In short, ATVs may not be driven legally under any circumstances on Sunset Drive.

         Council seriously regrets any confusion as a result of our previous letter.
