Spring Trail Update

May 12, 2015

TAP 2015 is in full swing and work has begun on nearly 30 different trails on Fromme & Seymour. With nearly 20 lead builders and 30 adopters, the program is stronger than ever. As we catch up on deferred maintenance, the window of neglect is slowly closing giving us the opportunity to put the icing on the cake on many trails. 2015 is shaping up to be our best year yet! Thank you to all of you who are part of the efforts.

Team Arc'teryx continue their improvements on Dreamweaver as part of TAP, now into year 4.

Fiver Pre-Registration

Apr 24, 2015

Want to pre-pay for all 9 of the Fiver's in one shot?

We've set that up for you here.

Want to skip the line at sign in and head straight to the first Stage?

We've also got that set up here.

There are 9 events this year in the Fiver Series, total cost being $45 (must be a current paid NSMBA member to participate).

This year we are offering the option to purchase your own timing card, we can pre-program your details on it and becuase you have also pre-paid we just need to scan the card at the end of the night to pull your times. No need to wait in line at sign in.

Got your 2015 membership?

Already have signed up for your membership?

Pre-register for the 2015 Fiver's HERE.

If you have trouble registering please email brian@nsmba.ca

Lastly it will save some time on the first Fiver if you print out, sign your waiver and bring it with you.

edit: We've adjusted the prices to $35 and $52 to account for the first 2 Fivers that has already happened. We'll be closing this option after Fiver #3.

Seymour River Rockslide Updates

Dec 10, 2014

SEYMOUR RIVER CANYON TRAIL CONNECTION UPDATE

What Happened?

In December 2014, a rockslide occurred in Seymour River Canyon, approximately one kilometre north of Riverside Drive, in the Lower Seymour Conservation Reserve (LSCR). The rockslide, which partially blocked Seymour River, is made up of an estimated 50,000 cubic metres of rock – that’s enough rock to fill a 13-story apartment building. As a result of the blockage the water level upstream increased, flooding area trails and the historic Twin Bridge. For safety purposes, both part of Fisherman’s Trail (from Mystery Creek to the Twin Bridge) and Bottletop Trail were closed and the Twin Bridge was removed.

Where are we Now?

To ensure the network of trails offered in Seymour River Canyon continue to be safe and accessible for recreational users from around the region, Metro Vancouver is in the early stages of gathering input on:

∙ a new pedestrian bridge across Seymour River

∙ new trail connections

∙ operational access to east side of Seymour River

Metro Vancouver recognizes the importance of the impacted trails and is committed to working closely with the community to address concerns, discuss options and identify new opportunities for the LSCR trail network in Seymour River Canyon.

What’s Next?

Metro Vancouver wants to hear from you. In June 2015, Metro Vancouver is hosting a public meeting to discuss progress, gather input, listen to feedback and answer questions. Please join us:
