Who We Are
Our members are a group of active outdoor enthusiasts living and playing on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada.
The TOC (Tee Oh Cee) is what we call our club, originally known as The Tetrahedron Ski Club, which came into existence in the early 1970's.
Our founding members were mainly employees of Howe Sound Pulp and Paper who first began skiing freshly logged slopes near the mill and later on Mt. Elphinstone and finally in the Tetrahedron Plateau. Through a partnership including the club, local forest industry and the BC Ministry of Forests, four log cabins and a network of trails were built by mostly volunteer labour in 1987, close to 300 volunteers, on land which eventually became Tetrahedron Provincial Park, commonly known as The Tet. Our club continues to maintain these cabins and trails under a stewardship agreement with BC Parks. The generous work of countless volunteers and funds raised through membership, donations and fund raising events, allows the public to enjoy this vast playground, the Tetrahedron Provincial Park.
Our club also supported the Dakota Ridge Winter Recreation Society as they worked and planned to develop our local cross-country, snowshoe and winter recreation site; Dakota Ridge. This site is managed by the SCRD with many of our members volunteering as trail hosts, groomer operators and with the local Jack Rabbits Skills Development Program on the Ridge.
