We empower and inspire people with physical disabilities to re-imagine what is possible through the provision of wilderness access opportunities. British Columbia Mobility Opportunities Society (BCMOS) was formed to make the Vancouver outdoors more accessible, which we do through our hiking and paddling programs.
The 2026 summer season officially begins in June, with programs running throughout the summer across Metro Vancouver.
Program Schedule Overview:
• Hiking: Begins June 11 (Wednesday–Sunday)
• Cycling: Begins June 10 (Monday–Friday)
• Paddling: Begins June 8 (Sunday–Thursday)
Updated schedules and registration details will continue to be added to the website as the season approaches.
Hike
Every summer, BCMOS operates a hiking program at Vancouver’s Pacific Spirit Regional Park. The 1,885-acre Pacific Spirit Regional Park, on the University of BC Endowment Lands, is the third-largest regional park in the Greater Vancouver Regional District. It is a multi-purpose recreational area used by hikers, joggers, cyclists, and equestrian riders.
Our accessible Hiking Centre offers opportunities for people with disabilities to explore a network of trails throughout Pacific Spirit Park and down to Spanish Banks – or locations around Metro Vancouver (tell us where you want to go – check out suggestions here.).
The 2026 hiking season officially begins on June 11 and runs Wednesday through Sunday throughout the summer.
• Wednesday–Friday hikes take place in Pacific Spirit Regional Park
• Saturday–Sunday feature destination hikes around Metro Vancouver
Paddle
BCMOS operates a summer paddling program from a purpose-designed base at False Creek in Vancouver. Our accessible Paddling Centre opened in 2016 and is outside Creekside Community Centre (1 Athletes Way, Vancouver). The Paddling Centre is easily accessible from the Main Street/Science World and Olympic Village SkyTrain stations or Main Street bus routes.
The Paddling Centre offers access to a sheltered, peaceful stretch of water adjacent to Science World. It’s surrounded by parks and condos, with views of city condos and the North Shore Mountains, and is close to restaurants and pubs. We are part of the city’s new “greater paddling community,” sharing the docks with dragon boaters.
The 2026 paddling season officially begins on June 8 and runs Sunday through Thursday throughout the summer.
Adaptive Cycling
Join us for 1-1.5 hour cycling excursions around Pacific Spirit Park. We have added lots of new equipment to our inventory to ensure more people can participate.
The 2026 adaptive cycling season officially begins on June 10 and runs Monday through Friday throughout the summer.
