'Trail for All' (Working Name Only) REOI
‘Trail for All’ is a collaborative project between the Squamish Off-Road Cycling Association (SORCA), and the Squamish Nation Youth MTB Program (SNYMTBP), supported by the landowners - Sqomish Sea and Sky Development (SSSD). This project will create a continuous green-rated, multi-use, multi-directional trail extending from the intersection of Highway 99 and Squamish Valley Road to the existing north terminus of ‘Sweet Judy’. This is roughly 1.7km in length, and the project is designed to be inclusive, providing a space where people of all abilities can ride while fostering Indigenous reconciliation through direct partnerships with Squamish Nation youth.
SORCA is seeking a qualified contractor to construct the trail. The primary objective is to deliver a sustainable, high-quality trail experience that aligns with the project's vision of accessibility and community collaboration.
Below is a link to the formal Request for Expression of Interest (REOI) for this project. Interested trail-building contractors are invited to review the document and submit their credentials for consideration in the upcoming selection process.
