It’s official! After two years of consultation, conversation, ground truthing proposed trails and word smithing, BCT has an updated plan for the WBC trails. The West Bragg Creek Master Trail Plan ( January 2024) confirms opportunities for BCT which includes 20 km of new trails upgrading, re-routing and/or general maintenance as well as improved signage and mapping.
TRAILS 2025 FUNDRAISER – Trail Blazing Together
The TRAILS 2025 Campaign is a one-time, defined-duration capital donation effort designed to run in parallel with regular ongoing fundraising outreach and support the endeavours of the above mentioned West Bragg Creek Trail Master Plan.
The Trails 2025 Campaign has a fundraising goal of $1.66MM for 54.7 km of ski trail upgrading and 20 km of new all-season singletrack. This is a huge fundraising feat which we know we can achieve with your help. BCT fundraising efforts include connecting with established Provincial and Federal Government infrastructure grants and sourcing parties of direct benefit from well-maintained and dynamic recreational destination. Regional municipalities, corporate partners, community members and local business are all beneficiaries, directly or indirectly.
The most direct beneficiaries of the proposed trail upgrades is you, our trail user. The love and appreciation for the WBC Trail System is obvious if you use the WBC parking lot as a barometer and the smiles, laughter and connection of our trail users is immeasurable.
BCT is requesting support from you, our beloved trail user, with tour Trails 2025 Campaign initiative. Please take the opportunity to review the West Bragg Creek Trail Master Plan (www.braggcreektrails.org) and get inspired to spread the word, get involved & hit the donate button!
Fundraising efforts are already coming in and we are beyond thankful. Thank you!
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
BCT is actively searching for many helping hands. If you have time to share, please consider volunteering. We do warn you though; volunteering with BCT is infectious and you may become addicted to time on the trails and getting dirty. If the getting dirty part doesn’t appeal to you, we have need of enthusiast Trail Hosts to impart “trail wisdom” on the many trail users that visit WBC.
To Donate and to Volunteer please go to: www.braggcreektrails.org
