The NSMBA Presentation and ensuing dialogue with Council can be seen by viewing section 5. Thank you again to everyone who came out to support our efforts and to the DNV Council for considerate dialogue on our proposal. Special thanks goes out to Ben Campbell-Barry and Phil Bradshaw for their expertise and dedication to seeing through the completion of the Business Case. The NSMBA is pleased to see that Council has asked the DNV Financial Department and Staff to assess the proposal.

A Community Driven Model for Sustainable Trail Maintenance
The NSMBA has created a plan to care for our trails.
We present this plan to DNV Council on Sept 17.
The objective of this plan, "A Community Driven Model for Sustainable Trail Maintenance", is to provide a structured and formal program of trail maintenance for our mountain trails. We believe a maintenance plan is integral in creating a sustainable future.
At 7:00pm on Monday, September 17th, Mathew Bond and Mark Wood of the NSMBA will be presenting this plan to District of North Vancouver council at 355 West Queens Road in North Vancouver to seek support through funding and partnership. Please join us at council chambers to voice your support. There is opportunity for Public Input as part of the agenda. Arrive early, sign up at 6:30pm for a 2 minute time slot to ensure your voice is heard.
Ongoing funding for trail maintenance is the first step in securing a world-class trail network for today and into our future.
Please sign our petition to show your support. If you are a District of North Vancouver resident, a hard copy of the petition will soon be available in your local bike shop.
Who are We?
We are a volunteer driven non-profit organization dedicated to caring for a sustainable trail network within the community.
