British Columbia Mobility Opportunities Society (BCMOS)

BCMOS is an independent non-profit society dedicated to enriching the lives of people with significant physical disabilities through wilderness recreation activities.

BCMOS was founded in 1985 to make it possible for people with physical disabilities to access B.C.'s great outdoors. Excursions range from day hikes to challenging treks.

Since 1995, the centerpiece of BCMOS's programs has been the TrailRider, a specially designed wilderness access vehicle. With one wheel, and "sherpas" back and front, the TrailRider can tackle any terrain. It has twice summited Kilimanjaro, but also allowed countless fishing trips, school outings and family afternoons outdoors.

BCMOS will run a variety of seasonal programs through summer 2009: hikes, which will include day excursions and theme hikes, a highly popular gliding program.

We also make TrailRiders available for rental ($10 per day), year round. For details, call 604-688-6464 ext. 117.

Our focus this year will be on outreach, making people with disabilities aware of the TrailRider and how it helps create recreational opportunities for individuals and families. TrailRiders can be found in many communities across North America.
