Grounded in research showing that time in nature improves mental and physical well-being, we’re committed to ensuring everyone can enjoy BC’s great outdoors. That means tackling the barriers that keep people from experiencing parks—whether it’s transportation, equipment, accessibility, or the conditions of park facilities.
Through community grants, accessibility upgrades, and park improvement projects, your support opens the gates to nature for more British Columbians every year.
Getting outside should be simple and joyful. Through the Spark Fund, we provide small grants that cover the real costs—like rides, gear, food, and honouring those who guide the way—so that everyone can enjoy time together in BC’s parks.
From smoother trails to accessible toilets to welcoming gathering spaces, park enhancement projects open the door for more people to explore, play, and feel at home in nature.
Spark Grant recipients have already spent more than 150,000 hours on the land, collecting nature observations, restoring ecosystems, and contributing to community science. These efforts grow our collective knowledge and strengthen the care of BC’s parks.
We want parks across the province to be alive with community energy—places where people gather, restore, and celebrate nature. Through the Spark Fund, communities and individuals everywhere can share in the health, joy, and inspiration of time outside.
Your gift helps remove barriers, improve facilities, and support programs that bring more people into BC’s parks.
