Become a Member
We invite you

full-time with outdoor recreation organizations, industry and
government agencies to protect British Columbia’s mountains and
forests for our future generations to experience. Your
membership can help us make this happen.
If you join one of our member clubs your FMCBC
annual dues are $15 per person/year. FMCBC memberships are $25 per
person/year when you join as an individual. Your membership supports
our programs - but most importantly, you'll have the satisfaction of
knowing you are helping to preserve irreplaceable wild land, the
integrity of British Columbia’s park system and maintain the
opportunity for everybody to experience the backcountry without
noise and pollution from motorized vehicles.
To join as an individual member please download our
printable membership form (pdf document) and mail it
in along with your cheque to: FMCBC, PO Box 19673, Vancouver BC, V5T
4E7. Please make the cheque payable to Federation of Mountain Clubs
of BC.

FMCBC please contact us for more information.
 Take Action
Are you concerned about the state of trails in your local area?
About a particular access or land use issue? Are you frustrated
because you don't know how you can make a difference? The good news
is that there are many ways you can take action to help our
backcountry assets. Here are just a few:
1. Write a letter
to your elected representative: One of the easiest
and most effective ways you can take action on backcountry issues is
by writing to your political representatives. Every letter an
elected official receives is taken to represent several others! Who
should you write? Check our
MLA
Finder for a list of
Provincial MLA's. Find a BC Government employee address, phone
number or email with
the
B.C. Government Directory.
2. Write a letter
to the Editor:
Writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper is another
effective way to make your voice heard. Remember to keep your letter
short and to the point, and to include your phone number at
the bottom of your letter so the newspaper can contact you with
questions.
3. Join a club: Joining a
club
and becoming a member of the FMCBC is an excellent way to take
action on a local or provincial issue. By joining forces with other
like-minded individuals, you can pool your ideas and really make a
difference. If there is no club in your area, form your own club and
join the FMCBC.
4. Get involved
in one of our regional committees: Check out our
Issues & Projects page and get
involved with an issue that concerns you or start a new project. To
get involved, send an email to us at:
fmcbc@mountainclubs.org
 Volunteer
Your Time
From participating in one of our regional committees to helping run
the organization, we are always in need of volunteers. Volunteering is a great way to gain experience in the recreational
sector and make a personal contribution at the same time. If you are
interested in helping out, contact us at:
fmcbc@mountainclubs.org. If there is a
member club in your area, you can contact them for other volunteer
opportunities. The FMCBC would not be able to carry out its work
protecting our backcountry without the countless hours of time from
dedicated volunteers from
across the province.
Donate
Your donation is tax-deductible. A charitable tax receipt will be
issued to you upon written request for donations of $15 or more. For
donations over $1,000, you have the option to be listed as a
supporter on the FMCBC website and in the Cloudburst newsletter.
To make a donation, contact
us directly or complete the
and mail it along with your cheque to: FMCBC, PO Box 19673,
Vancouver BC, V5T 4E7. Please make the cheque payable to Federation
of Mountain Clubs of BC. You can also make a secure online donation
to the FMCBC at the
Canada
Helps website. CanadaHelps is a registered charity with
the goal to make giving to charities simple. Their site provides an
easy and secure way to make donations.
