🏔️ Our employees live in these communities. The backcountry is their backyard.

Across British Columbia, many of our employees live in small and rural communities where the outdoors is where they spend their time after work. ATVing, 4x4ing, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, camping and exploring are part of life in these communities.

When public access is closed or roads and trails are deactivated, it isn’t just a road that disappears. It closes access to the backyard that many British Columbians have enjoyed for generations.

We are calling on Ravi Parmar and the Province to pause these deactivation plans and come to the table with the organized representatives of the ATV, 4x4 and BC Snowmobile Federation communities before decisions are made that permanently affect public access.

Rady Creek is just one high-profile example. The KVR Rail Trail is another. These are important access routes for recreation, communities and the people who live and work in rural BC.

There is an opportunity to sit down, listen to the people who use these areas, and find solutions before public access is permanently lost.

👉 Pause the tenders.
👉 Come to the table.
👉 Listen to the organized user groups.
👉 Let’s keep our public playgrounds open.

At Emcon, our people work in these communities every day. We understand how important access to the backcountry is to the people who call rural BC home.

It’s time for a conversation before more gates go up.
