The Adopt a Highway program offers both non-profit and for-profit organizations opportunities to contribute to their community and province. This program is aimed at promoting community pride and a means of publicly recognizing the organization’s efforts. Specifically, the opportunity is for organizations to “adopt” a section of provincial highway to help carry out or sponsor such activities as landscape beautification, litter pickup, weeding and invasive plant spotting and reporting. Hand-pulling of non-toxic plants is optional.
The Pacific Coast Blue Knights, Victoria, BC, Chapter VIII has adopted the section of the Trans Canada Highway that lays between Spencer Road and Sooke Lake Road, which is a distance of approximately 2 Klms in length. Our first clean up filled the box of a full size pickup. We expect to conduct 4 clean ups per year.

BC VIII kicked off the riding season with a ride to beautiful Port Renfrew. Though there were a few issues with the highway, a great time was had by all.

Two of our Chapter members, Ron and Phil, took a week off work and headed South: into California and Nevada. Seems Ron forgot his rain suit and about 80% of their trip was in the rain. You know what they say, "A bad day on the road is better than a good day in the office". Here are a few of the sunnier moments...
Brian's Coast to Coast ride in July 2010 took him past the Blue Knights International Headquarters in Bangor Maine.
