Trails Strategy for British Columbia and Public Open House Information Sessions

The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts in partnership with BC Parks and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is pleased to release the Draft Trails Strategy for British Columbia. This Draft Strategy, describes an action plan that enables the development of a world-renowned network of sustainable trails, accessible to all, which fosters social, cultural, health, economic and environmental benefits for trail users, communities and the Province. In fact, this is the Vision for the provincial trail program described in the Draft Strategy. It has been developed through collaboration and consensus by a multi-agency stakeholder and government Trail Strategy Committee and outlines broad, strategic, provincial level goals that the Committee feels are fundamental to a sustainable, world-class trail program.

The Trail Strategy Committee will be hosting a series of public open house meetings in communities across the Province. We would like to invite interested public to a presentation and public open house to learn about the Strategy, and offer an opportunity for comments and feedback. Information about the Strategy process, and the public meeting details can be found on our website at
Recreation Sites and Trails Website

We recognize that many people throughout British Columbia will be interested in learning about this initiative and providing input but may not be able to attend one of the open house sessions. Due to limited resources we have not been able to plan a meeting in as many communities as there are interested trail advocates. Therefore we are inviting anyone who is interested to review the Draft Trails Strategy for British Columbia on our website and complete a Trails Strategy Feedback Information Form. All input will be considered and reviewed prior to releasing a final Trail Strategy for B.C.

We look forward to hearing from you. If you have any questions please direct them to RecInfo@gov.bc.ca
