Founded in 1976, the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC works on behalf of 90 provincial and regional member organizations. It represents more than 100,000 individual members, as well as the general public, to support enjoyable and respectful outdoor recreation opportunities for all.
Our Mission
We advocate for access to and promote the responsible use of BC’s outdoors for public recreation while building bridges between our diverse members.
Our Vision
Recreation and outdoor places are valued as essential to healthy individuals and vibrant communities, and every British Columbian has access to meaningful outdoor recreation experiences.
Improving Access to Wild Places
You want to access wild places, and so do we! It’s important that we do so safely and responsibly, to protect nature, wildlife, cultural values and ourselves. The Outdoor Recreation Council works to improve legislation and policies, enhance collaboration with stakeholders, and increase funding for outdoor recreation.
