Speciality Vehicles Association of Alberta

Safety Checks: Important For Us All

The SVAA is dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and enjoyment of all antique,

collector, vintage and specialty vehicles. One of the most effective ways we can contribute to

the achievement of our mission is to ensure that our vehicles are as safe as possible. This is

a natural fit with the highway safety objectives of the Alberta government.

We are indeed privileged as the province has no desire to enter into the safety check

business preferring to leave it to the hobby to monitor itself. To that end, the SVAA has done

two things to help the hobbyist with safety checks.

1. A Safety Check form has been drafted for use by the owner/checker in the annual safety

check. (This is a visual inspection only, no components of the vehicle need to be removed.)

NOTE: the SVAA welcomes suggestions for improvements to the Safety Check form. Please

2. SVAA stickers have been produced that will be provided to each owner demonstrating that

they have completed a Safety Check and their vehicle has

complied. To get stickers send an e-mail to safetycheck@svaalberta.com.

In the interest of our being able to continue the self-monitoring safety checks, the SVAA

encourages you to do a Safety Check on your vehicle, report its completion to your club and

encourage your club to report the total number of Safety Checks done to the SVAA at

safetycheck@svaalberta.com. Our continued efforts to ensure that our vehicles are on the

road in a safe, roadworthy condition can only reinforce our already excellent relations with the

Government of Alberta.
