About Us

We Are Stewards

As stewards of the Central Okanagan riding community, we bring riders, builders, volunteers, and partners together to protect our trails and shape the future of mountain biking.

MTBCO respectfully acknowledges that the trails we ride are located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Syilx tmixʷ (Okanagan) people.

Our Mission

We are a progressive, volunteer-powered nonprofit dedicated to building sustainable trails and creating inclusive mountain biking experiences in the Central Okanagan.

Advocacy

We Don’t Sit Quiet

We advocate for the community and collaborate with all levels of government, land managers, and partner trail groups to:

Secure long-term trail access and future network development
Maintain constructive, solution-oriented relationships with governing bodies
Represent the voice and needs of mountain bikers in the Central Okanagan
