Update on the Trail Stewardship Enhancement Project

The MBTA’s Trail Stewardship Enhancement Project is now wrapping up. With vital support from the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture, and Sport’s Destination Development Fund, this project has successfully delivered two key outcomes:

  • New Trailhead Information Kiosks: Over 30 communities across British Columbia now have new trailhead information kiosks installed and are ready for new local trail information to be applied to the kiosks in 2026.
  • Community MTB Trails Impact Study: The data collection phase of our province-wide trail study has finished. The data is now being analyzed by the research team from Vancouver Island University, and we expect to share the results in early 2026.

A sincere thank you to all the community partners, volunteers, and the Province for making this important work possible.
