Walk BC is a virtual platform to explore the variety of walking trails, scenic routes, and outdoor adventures in British Columbia. If it is your first time walking, or you are a seasoned hiker, the platform has materials and tips to help ensure a safe, pleasant, and worthwhile walk. We believe stepping out of one’s house is an opportunity to connect with nature, relax, and build health.
Our Mission
For Walk BC, the philosophy is simple: give people a reason to walk in BC, promote the culture of safety along the way, and strive for environmental consciousness in every step. We want a community where all hikers feel empowered, informed, and inspired to walk.
We look at three main areas:
- Education: Clear, practical instruction for hikers of various skill levels.
- Inspiration: Share scenic routes, and lifestyle tips, and be the stories behind exploring.
- Support: Tools and resources to ensure hiking becomes easier, safer, and more fun.
