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.

Since 2007, BCMOS is again operating a variety of hiking programs and has added a new gliding program. Thanks to Mountain Equipment Co-op, this includes a series of challenging two-day hikes with overnight camping called Access Adventure.
