Announcing the 2023 ORV Trail Fund Recipients
We're thrilled to unveil the recipients of the 6th annual BC ORV Trail Fund, which has once again provided crucial support to off-road vehicle (ORV) trail projects across British Columbia.
Established in 2017, the Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) Trail Fund is sustained through a portion of vehicle registration fees collected by ICBC. Its mission is to elevate the quality of off-road vehicle trails in British Columbia, offering residents and visitors alike an exceptional outdoor recreation experience.
This year's recipients have been selected for their outstanding contributions to the ORV community and their commitment to trail development and preservation. The fund's support will enable these projects to progress and flourish, benefitting all ORV enthusiasts across the province.
Once again, we extend our deepest gratitude to all involved parties, from the organizations backing the fund to the selfless volunteers who work tirelessly to bring these trail projects to life. Your efforts are instrumental in shaping the future of ORV recreation in British Columbia. We look forward to witnessing the positive impact of these projects and the experiences they will provide for years to come.
Thanks to the combined efforts of RSTBC, the BC Snowmobile Federation, the BC Off-Road Motorcycle Association, ATV-BC, and numerous dedicated volunteer groups throughout the province, this year's fund has awarded approximately $1.3 million towards enhancing ORV trails.
Congratulations to the 2023 BC ORV Trail Fund recipients!
