Who writes this
North AB Trails is written by the editorial team at Butler Motor Group Ltd., which owns three AMVIC-licensed dealerships in northern Alberta. Some of our stores sell Segway and AODES ATVs and side-by-sides, so we say so up front. Rules come from the Government of Alberta and local bylaws, specs come from the manufacturers, and we link to every source we used.
