Members of the BC Power Sports Coalition Renew their Commitment to Work Together

The Back Country PowerSports Coalition (BCPSC) was originally formed in 2014 by the Quad Riders Association of BC (ATVBC), BC Off Road Motorcycle Association (BCORMA) and the BC Snowmobile Federation (BCSF) to foster cooperative coordination with government, and others, on issues which may be in the best interest of back-country motorized sports in general.  

The BC Power Sports Coalition has tackled many projects since its inception including the finalization of the Off Road Vehicle Act and the subsequent ORV Trail Fund which was established to ensure a portion of ORV registration fees is returned to the riders through strategic investments in ORV infrastructure.  

Chris D'Silva - President ATVBC, Peter Doyle - President BCSF, and Ken McClelland- President BCORMA, met together in Kamloops on Apr 11, 2023 to sign an updated Memorandum of Understanding for the 3 associations. 

April 11, 2023, all three organizations have renewed their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to take on a new project which will be the establishment of a “Best Practice Guidelines for Off Road Vehicle Trails in BC” including single track, ATV and snowmobile trails.  These guidelines will help to streamline the paperwork and consultation process to do trail work for volunteers while also ensuring that investments made are to a high standard.  The members of the BC Power Sports Coalition believe this is an important next step to improving responsible motorized recreation opportunities in BC.
