About

Who We Are

We are a collective of BIPoC and LGBTQ2S+ adventure seekers. We are the visionaries, the intersectional environmentalists, the world shakers, and community builders. We are here for the thrill-seekers, community builders, goal-setters, adventurers, the ones who dare to challenge themselves and the system. The ones who commit, the ones who show up willing to learn.

We advocate for inclusive representation in outdoor spaces, working with brand partners, businesses, and organizations to break barriers and create accessibility. We subsidize outdoor adventures, create diverse content, and are actively working with our allies to create the change we want to see in the world.

As a socially conscious business rooted in collective community well-being, we operate a business model that focuses on social change and sharing our successes with our local and global communities.

We are a community of BIPoC and LGBTQ2S+ nature seekers. Join us. You belong here. We offer a variety of outdoor activities, all you need to do is show up with an open heart and mind. We provide everything required to participate, and we subsidize the cost of the activity to increase accessibility. Become a member, sign up for an event, and let the adventure begin!

Colour the Trails is founded on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Why Colour the Trails

There is a lack of representation in the outdoor world and we aim to radically amplify BIPoC stories and voices. Our work is rooted in social justice. We started Colour the Trails as a form of reclamation, as a way to take up space, where everyone is welcome. We are a bridge of emotional, social, and physical safety between the BIPoC community and the grand outdoors.

We hold allies accountable. We work with businesses and organizations to continue doing the Work in the life-long journey of Anti-Racism.

Colour the Trails is the collaboration between members and allies to create the change we envision for the world.
