The Trails Society of British Columbia

WELCOME to the Trails Society of British Columbia’s website. We are a registered non-profit with charity status.

We have a mandate to assemble and preserve the British Columbian section of The Trans Canada Trail, as well as dedicate ourselves for the expansion, sustainability, and preservation of greenway trails in B.C.

Our mission statement is “Trails Society of BC dedicates itself for quality trail experiences for self-propelled recreation and active transportation for all ages and abilities on greenway trails in British Columbia.”

The Greenways for All research focused on reconciliation and equity related issues and recommendations regarding trails and active transportation including working to assist in addressing the lack of representation in the trails and active transportation.

Join the Movement

We invite you to be part of our grand vision for the Trans Canada Trail, our work on reconciliation and our quest for high quality greenway experiences for non-motorized trail users.

Trail Alerts

 

While we make every effort to keep you up to date with trail alerts regarding trails we describe on the Trails BC website, another resource is the government Recreation Sites and Trails BC website. This government agency is the land manager for most of the TCT in B.C. There are also several BC Parks that the Trans Canada Trail passes through as mainly labeled, the Kettle Valley Rail Trail. Please note information may not be accurate on these websites.

For information from trail users, check out our Facebook Page and also  B.C. Bikepacking and Biking BC’s Rail Trails on Facebook.
