FMCBC Annual General Meeting - in review
It was a pleasure to see FMCBC Directors, Club Reps and guests at our 2022 AGM on June 25th.
A thank you to outgoing FMCBC Executive members Alia Sanger and Justin Partridge for their hard work and enthusiasm as directors.
Justin took on the Vice-President role and specifically supported research and development of FMCBC strategic planning, as well as Risk Management Committee tasks. Alia developed and carried out discussion groups to support Diversity and Inclusion planning for the FMCBC and member clubs and participated in the Archives Committee. Wishing you both great success in future endeavors!
Thank you to our 2022-2023 FMCBC Executive Board who will continue their work to protect and maintain access to BC’s backcountry.
A Reminder for FMCBC Clubs (Insured through FMCBC)
The Incident Reporting Form is to be used for any significant incident, injury, etc. which occurs during a club sanctioned trip or event and which could result in an insurance claim. Any situation where significant first aid, or a doctor or hospital visit is needed requires an incident form to be submitted to the FMCBC.
FMCBC Committees - join us in protecting access to BC's backcountry!
In addition to our core membership services, the FMCBC’s work includes a range of initiatives aimed at protecting and maintaining access to backcountry areas for non-motorized recreation in BC. We carry out our work through our various membership programs and our committees, which are run by dedicated volunteers from across the province. Committees include:
