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 ran a variety of seasonal programs through summer 2008: the regular

hiking programs, challenging two-day hikes with overnight camping called Access Adventure, a gliding program and the Access Challenge event. These will all return in summer 2009.

In the meantime, the TrailRider is available for year-round rental ($10 per day). For details, call 604-688-6464 ext. 117.
