Coming and recurring events


Coming events
 
 
Excursions
Excursions are private events. Members of the public are welcome but are expected to abide by normal safety and public behaviour standards, to conduct themselves in a courteous manner to volunteer drivers, other participants, and members of the public, and to do nothing that would bring TRAMS into disrepute, directly or indirectly, with its generous sponsor or the general public. TRAMS reserves the right to deny access to any excursion to any individual or group for any reason. TRAMS will also cause any individual creating a disturbance, causing a safety hazard, or conducting themselves in a disorderly or disreputable manner to be removed from an excursion, and may resort to support from the South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority Police if necessary to enforce any such removal order.

No skill necessary Members are encouraged to come out to help with the historic fleet
There is a variety of tasks needing doing - if you have no mechanical inclination, there is still lots for you to do. These buses do not maintain themselves!
And if you do know your way around a set of tools, there's work for you too.
For safety and insurance reasons, non-members are not permitted to work on the bus fleet or to visit the Trams garage without prior arrangement. This is a working facility with all the associated dangers and risks. Non-members wishing to visit the garage should contact the president sufficiently in advance of their proposed visit to make suitable arrangements.
