The people who keep BC rideable

Behind almost every trail in this province is a small society of volunteers who cut it, bridge it, sign it, and clear the deadfall each spring. 58 organizations, in six regions. Back the ones whose trails you love.

Donations go directly to each organization, not to the BC Cycle Tourism Society. Where you see “tax receipt,” the organization is a registered charity. Donations to the BC Cycle Tourism Society are also welcome, contact us for details.

Wells and Areas Trails Society

A handful of volunteers keeping the trails around Wells and Barkerville open for bikes, boots, and skis. Every membership dollar goes directly into trail maintenance, and at twenty dollars a year it might be the best deal in the Cariboo.

Big country, volunteer-run trails from Hazelton to Tumbler Ridge.

Cycle16 Trail Society

Pemberton Valley Trails Association

Volunteers who maintain and grow the valley trail network around Pemberton, from riverside greenways to the paths that link town, lake, and neighbourhood. A registered charity, so your donation gets a tax receipt.

Slocan Valley Rail Trail Society

Fifty kilometres of gentle rail trail through the Slocan Valley, from Slocan Lake to the Kootenay River, kept rideable by volunteers who fix the culverts and sinkholes an old rail line throws at them. Donation boxes wait at every trailhead if you prefer to give as you ride.
