VOLUNTEER EXPECTATIONS

A Shared Commitment to Responsible Access

Volunteering with 4WDABC means representing the association and supporting responsible recreation. All volunteers are expected to follow our Code of Conduct to ensure safety, respect, and long-term access for everyone.

RESPECT: Treat everyone with respect, from other wheelers and other recreational users, to government officials and environmentalists.
POSITIVE: Remain positive in all interactions.
POLITE: We leave lasting impressions beginning with the first impression.
RESPONSIBLE: Live the Four Wheeler’s Code of Ethics
DEPENDABLE: Follow through on our word.

Don’t pick fights, either in person or online. We can present our view, argue our beliefs, express our opinions without attacking an individual. We lose respect as soon as we react in kind to an online attack, and not just of this one attacker but of the many others who read and do not write.

One of the goals of the Four Wheel Drive Association of BC is to represent ALL WHEELERS, not just some. We are to promote mud bogging by advocating by designated areas to do so in areas where it is already a popular activity. We are to promote rock crawling by advocating designated rock crawling areas where the activity is already popular. We are to promote access to trails and trail systems for our day trippers and our adventure wheelers or overlanders.

No one gets left behind is a good motto.

We are not an exclusive entity, rather, we are fully inclusive of the entire wheeling community and we need to be responsive to all of these needs.

The trailhead is typically considered to be when you first hit gravel for the day - the hatchery for West Harrison, Sasquatch Park turnoff for East Harrison, etc.) Use Google Maps or equivalent to get your route if you're not keeping track, or if your speedometer isn't calibrated for oversized tires and regearing.
