Trail Etiquette sign

Community Trails Etiquette

BCT has several Operation/Maintenance Agreements with RVC that provide BCT with the legal authority to operate and maintain community trails in RVC.

The trails covered under these Operation/Maintenance Agreements are:

  • The West Bragg Creek Trail section of “The Great Trail” (formerly Trans-Canada Trail)
  • Banded Peak Trail
  • Banded Peak Connector into Bragg Creek Provincial Park
  • Centennial Trail

These trails are designated as non-motorized, shared use trails and they have boulders and bollards strategically placed to control un-authorized vehicle access. These trails are generally within road right-of- ways and are adjacent to private properties. They provide important pathway connectivity within the community including access to the Banded Peak School.
