Become a volunteer
The FMCBC would not be able to carry out its work without the help of dedicated volunteers from across the province. From participating in our committees to helping run the organization, volunteering is a great chance to share your experience, get some experience and make a real difference to non-motorized outdoor recreation in BC.
Interested in getting involved in one or more committees? Or starting a new committee that aligns with our goals and objectives? Or, do you want to volunteer your time and skills in another way? Get in touch with us!
