Danielle Roscher, BCSF Administrative Coordinator for the South Peace Snowmobile Clubs is requesting a letter of support for the Rocky Mountain Riders application for the Rural Economic Diversification & Infrastructure Project grant in October of this year. The project outlined upgrades or replacement of the Virgin Valley cabin on Morfee Mountain. The shelter was approved by Recreation Sites and Trails to be managed by the club in the 2024 season.
