what it means to be a member
As a member of a BCSF-affiliated club, you are part of something bigger. This Code of Conduct exists to uphold the values that make snowmobiling in BC possible: respect for the land, the people, and the communities that sustains our sport.
Every rider plays a role in protecting access, building strong relationships, and creating a safe, welcoming backcountry experience for all.
bcsf member code of conduct
-
As a proud member of the BCSF, I recognize that snowmobiling is more than a sport; it’s a privilege, a passion, and a community. I commit to upholding the values that make this experience possible for everyone: respect, responsibility, and care for the land and people around me.
-
I will treat others, club staff, volunteers, fellow riders, landowners, and the public, with respect, patience, and kindness. I recognize that our community is made stronger by its diversity, and I will engage with others in a way that fosters inclusion, safety, and goodwill.
-
I understand that how I ride, and how I act, reflects on my Club and the entire snowmobiling community. I will ride responsibly, respect land access agreements and area closures, and avoid reckless behaviour that puts others, the environment, or our access at risk.
-
I will be a steward of the backcountry. I will “pack it in, pack it out,” help keep cabins and trails clean, and support efforts that protect the places we ride for future generations.
-
I will represent my Club with integrity, online and off. I will share my views constructively, support one another, and bring forward concerns through the right channels, recognizing that behind every decision is a team of volunteers working hard to make this sport better.
-
I understand that violations of this Code may lead to disciplinary action, including suspension or loss of membership. This may affect my status as a member in good standing, which includes access to voting rights, member benefits, participation in events, and other privileges at this club and others across the province.
-
Upholding this Code is my way of giving back - to the trails I love, the people who make this sport possible, and the future of snowmobiling in British Columbia.
