The Kahnawake Peacekeepers are advising the community of the beginning of operations focused on All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) misuse within the community.

- Have valid civil liability insurance for an amount of no less than $500,000
- Possess an ATV permit issued by the Kahnawake Peacekeepers

- Obey all posted road signs
- Not operate the vehicle in any way that could endanger a person’s life or safety
