Rounding Up New Board Members at Rendezvous

Back Country Horsemen of British Columbia (BCHBC) is a registered not-for-profit society managed by dedicated volunteers.

This organization has been built over the past 20+ years with the collective commitment and dedication of hundreds of people who served on the Provincial Board of Directors or represented our 16+ different regions on their local Chapter Boards.

Our volunteers are of all ages, from all walks of life... they ride English and Western... on horses, ponies and mules. They are people who share a common interest in horses and a steadfast appreciation for the great outdoors.

Would YOU consider coming on Board?

As the countdown to our annual Rendezvous event begins, we encourage you to consider helping BCHBC blaze new trails in the future. Three positions on the Provincial Board of Directors will be voted on at our Annual General Meeting on Friday, June 1, 2012, at 100 Mile House. We encourage you to consider committing to a two-year term as President, Vice President or Secretary on the Provincial Board of Directors. (Note that you do not have to personally attend the AGM in order to let your name stand for nomination.)

  • the construction of a needed stretch of corduroy on a section of trail in Mt. Robson Provincial Park
  • the repair of facilities at the Garden City Horsemen’s horse camp in the Malahat area, and
  • the development of the Brewster Lake Horse camp site on Vancouver Island.
