Volunteer

Join our team!

We’re always looking for volunteers to help with the Vancouver Island Trail.  

The existence and well being of Vancouver Island Trail is dependent entirely on volunteers. People who give willingly and generously of their time, experience and skills. The Trail has been built by such passionate individuals and its future will continue to depend on new and existing volunteers.
