The FVMBA

The Fraser Valley Mountain Bikers Association (FVMBA) is a registered non-profit society focused on creating sustainable trail networks and developing a thriving mountain bike culture throughout the Fraser Valley.

As a volunteer-driven and member-based organization, the FVMBA actively advocates and stewards development, maintenance and protection of local trails through interaction, engagement and fostering of partnerships with local community, Indigenous, land managers, businesses, and other trail user groups.

The FVMBA aims to create a positive user experience for a full range of abilities and styles of both mountain bike riders and other trail users. We organize group rides and social events geared towards increasing ridership on the trails as well as community trail days to engage trail users and communities in taking an active and collaborative role in maintaining the trail networks.

Strategic Plan

2024-2026

Our 2024-2026 strategic plan was developed to guide and focus our efforts and resources over the next three years. The priorities and key deliverables are the core elements of this plan – they are being pursued as resources permit and as opportunities arise and will be adjusted as new information becomes available. The goals articulate what we’re trying to achieve now and into the future. We will report on progress made (or not made) to the board quarterly and annually to members at the Annual General Meeting.
