Happy Canada Day! Ontario Drivers Get $200 Present from Government!
G Licensed Drivers- Celebrate Canada Day Towing Your RV for Less!
Starting July 1, Ontario drivers can tow recreational vehicles (RVs) with only a G licence. This will make it easier for Ontarians to travel this summer, and save RV owners about $200 in initial licence costs. Celebrate Canada Day Weekend at one of Omemee Area RV Resorts! Read on for more details!
Until now, Ontario drivers needed a class A licence to tow RVs that weigh more than 4,600 kg. With this change, Ontarians can tow and operate RVs with a full class G licence as long as:
- The combined weight of the motor vehicle and RV is not more than the current 11,000 kg limit
- The RV is attached to the motor vehicle by a fifth wheel hook-up
- Only one vehicle is being towed
- The RV meets Transport Canada manufacturing standards
- The RV is being towed for personal use only.
These changes will make it easier for Ontarians to travel with RVs, support the province's RV industry and promote tourism.
Parks with RV facilities in the Omemee Area include:
- Beaver Narrows
- Emily Park
- Pinewood Cottages and Trailer Park
