Taylor MacVittie

I founded Van Queer Climbers (VQC) and then built and grew non-profit programs to serve thousands of 2SLBGTQIA+ participants across the Lower Mainland. The work I’ve had the privilege of doing at VQC has led to real changes in the representation of, education of, and opportunities for 2SLBGTQIA+ people in climbing.

Most recently, I led Metro Vancouver’s Walking School Bus program at the Society for Children and Youth of BC. Before that I championed the equity programs at Mobi Bikes, including developing a fully subsidized bike share pass for high school students and free bike access for People With Disabilities.

My greatest passion in life is creating more equitable, diverse, accessible, and inclusive spaces for underrepresented groups within the cycling community.
