© 2019 BHAAt the beginning of 2018, BHA was engaged by the SLRD (Squamish Lillooet Regional District) to develop the Pemberton Valley Trail Master Plan. The Master Plan aims to define and describe a framework that will guide the future of this important trail system. The Friendship Trail was identified as key connector for the Pemberton Valley, linking the Lil’wat Nation – Mt. Currie and the Village of Pemberton. By offering a safe alternative from the road side of Highway 99, it is envisioned as an accessible, non-motorized trail that will support active transportation, recreation opportunities and contribute to building a strong connection between the two communities. The project is a joint venture between Lil’wat First Nation, the various level of government and local community. A key component of the implementation of the Friendship Trail is the construction of a bridge over the Lillooet River. The first phase of construction for the bridge was initiated at the end of August 2018 and will continue until September 16, capturing the small construction window defined by fisheries constraints.

© BHA 2019At the end of July 2018, BHA, its fellow sponsors and WORCA (Whistler Off Road Cycling Association) were hosting the 13th Annual Tour de Trash, one of Whistler’s local longest running mountain bike race. With a new course (See Trailforks Here) and almost 15o riders participating, this year’s event was a great success. Inspired by Whistler AWARE Zero Waste Event and following BHA’s vision for sustainability, this year’s Après was also a ZERO WASTE event, with 100% of the waste being composted or recycled, we were happy to have planned and hosted a big event with a small footprint!
The Toonie Races are a Whistler classic, bringing together local riders for a exciting evening of challenging bike riding and fun social time. With the profit of the event going back to WORCA to support trail maintenance, the entire BHA team was proud to be out there volunteering for the day. Good job everyone and congrats to all the riders who completed the course!
