Kamloops physiotherapy clinic announces longterm funding for bike trails

KAMLOOPS – The Kamloops Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Centre have partnered with the Kamloops Performance Cycling Centre to provide three years of funding towards the Pineview Mountain Bike trails in the city.

The organization will provide roughly $4,000 annually over the next few years which will go towards new signage and bike trail maintenance, according to a Facebook post on the business’s official page.

“We wanted to make sure it wasn’t just a one time thing,” John Howick, the owner of the Kamloops Physiotherapy clinic says. “We have a commitment for about three years."

Howick says the funding will also help build new trails in the area.

“Ultimately we want to expand things, there’s a lot of people that use those trails and it’s just nice to give back to the community,” he says.

Howick says he tries to promote active living through his business as much as possible.

“My wife and I are avid cyclists and this seemed like a good match,” he says.

Howick adds he hopes the funding will help improve the overall conditions of the trails and encourage more people to be more active.
