Trips focus in the Thompson Cariboo area, with longer trips into the Rockies and Purcells occurring through the summer months. Our mission is to be more than just hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, or biking, but also caring, sharing, supporting, encouraging.

We are dedicated to all aspects of ocean/fresh water kayaking and canoeing, bringing canoeists and kayakers together to share information, to develop and improve paddling skills, and to offer safe recreational trips.

Established in 1928, the CDMC organizes day hiking and backpacking trips, snowshoeing, trekking, and other non-motorized activities.

Most of the activities are in Greater Victoria and Southern Vancouver Island areas while our multi-day adventures can be elsewhere in Canada or international locations.

VOCM is a sociable outdoors group and we welcome new members – and hosts – to join us. Our main activity is hiking, but also offer other events, such as mountain biking and paddling.

The Sunshine Coast Trail (SCT) was conceived in 1992 when a handful of outdoor enthusiasts realized the amount of accessible old growth on the Upper Sunshine Coast was vanishing. They formed the Powell River Parks and Wilderness Society (now known as qPAWS), a registered non-profit charitable society, to set aside protected areas linked by forested trail corridors.

The TOC is an all year round club who maintains Tetrahedron Provincial Park’s four cabins and trails in collaboration with BC Parks. Outside of this, the club holds socials once a month during the winter.
