This platform has been created as a permanent long term repository of all information concerning issues revolving around non-motorized access to our wilderness areas. We are also a repository of official government documents including master plans, park use permits, and development agreements as well as maps of key recreational area boundaries and trails. On this site, the province has been divided into 7 distinct geographic regions where these issues might occur. We welcome both clubs and invidiuals to join us in our advocacy work. As a completely transparent organization, everyone is welcome to view the contents of the site.

We consider hikers, rock climbers, mountaineers, trail runners, mountain bikers, kayakers, paddlers, backcountry skiers, and snowshoers among the groups that will directly benefit from the work being done here. At the core of our belief system is that the public has a right to access the wild areas of our province without encumberance by commercial operations or obstruction by government agencies. We are run entirely by volunteers. There is no central management here and there is also no anonymity. We provide a platform for everyone's voice to be heard and strive for truth and accuracy in what is stated.

Issues are organized by category. Let one of our admins know if your issue does not fall into any of our pre-existing categories and we'll add it for you. This site is completely smart phone friendly and can be accessed by virtually any computerized device connected to the internet. We only ask that you abide by our Terms of Use.
