In partnership with Recreation Sites and Trails BC, the BC Snowmobile Federation is proud to announce the following member club recipients of the 2026 Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) Trail Fund.
Funded through Off-Road Vehicle registration dollars, the ORV Trail Fund is a direct reinvestment into the trails, infrastructure, safety programs, and riding experiences used by recreationists across British Columbia. The program continues to support volunteer-led projects that strengthen safe, sustainable, and responsible access to the backcountry.
This year’s funded snowmobile projects include investments in trail maintenance, brushing, infrastructure rehabilitation, signage, technology upgrades, and rider education initiatives across the province.

Since launching in 2017, the ORV Trail Fund has invested millions of dollars into projects supporting motorized recreation across British Columbia. The fund is delivered collaboratively through Recreation Sites and Trails BC alongside the BC Snowmobile Federation, ATV Association of BC, and BC Off Road Motorcycle Association.
The BC Snowmobile Federation would like to congratulate all funding recipients and recognize the volunteers whose ongoing work continues to strengthen BC’s snowmobile trail network, infrastructure, safety, and stewardship efforts across the province.
