In the summer, it's the sound of ATVs. In winter, it's snowmobiles.
These sounds should not be heard within the limits of the Town of Battleford, but heard they are.
Monday night, at the regular meeting of Battleford Town Council, Councillor Ames Leslie pointed out snowmobiles are not supposed to be on town streets or on the town's recreational trails.
He noted a little girl was almost run over by a youth on a snowmobile just last weekend.
"We don't need somebody to get hurt and we don't need our trails all dug up," he said.
Sheryl Ballendine, town administrator, said snowmobilers are supposed to load their machines up and take them out of town. The current bylaw reads no snowmobile use or ATV use within the town.
