Our Mission:
Building a culture of inclusive mountain bike communities and sustainable trail networks.
Our Vision:
Thriving trails and communities.
Who We Are:
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.
The FVMBA actively advocates and stewards development, maintenance and protection of local trails through interaction, engagement and the fostering of partnerships with local community, First Nations, businesses, governments, and other trail user groups.
The FVMBA aims to create a positive user experience for a full range of abilities and styles of mountain bike riders, as well as other trail users. We organize group rides and social events geared towards increasing ridership on the trails, as well as organize and host community trail days to engage trail users and communities in taking an active and collaborative role in maintaining the trail networks.
The FVMBA is a member based organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and Area Representatives who commit to active representation of local trail interests and maintaining area-specific trail networks.
Our Bylaws:
FVMBA Board of Directors:
The FVMBA Board of Directors are elected annually at the Annual General Meeting.
The Board of Directors consists of 11 volunteer FVMBA members who represent the community and work hard to keep things together throughout the year. The Board of Directors provides strategic leadership to ensure that the organization achieves the mission of the member community.
Our 2023 Board of Directors was elected at our AGM held on January 29. To see the results of the elections, read more here. Executive positions outlined below will be updated after the first meeting of the new board in February.
