Propose a temporary off-road vehicle restriction

We can temporarily restrict off-road vehicle use for up to 90 days in cases when immediate protection of sensitive areas is necessary.

We can create the temporary restrictions in areas:

• not proposed to become an off-road vehicle management area; or
• that are proposed to become an off-road vehicle management area.

• the Government of Canada;
• the Government of Yukon;
• a Yukon First Nations government;
• a municipal government;
• the Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board;
• a Renewable Resource Council; or
• a Local Advisory Council.

If you do not represent any of the above organizations, you must have one of them complete and submit the application on your behalf.
