"Trails and Rails - A new sport called Trains vs Bicycle racing is invented and attracts competitors from around the world!"

That's a line from the newest CVRD Video released that talks about several options for the corridor. Watch it! Video 2

We need a chorus of voices singing the same tune! Trails and Rails!

In 2023-2024 the CVRD contracted Modus and Stantec to conduct an analysis of the corridor looking at the costs of conversion to a Trail, just making it Commuter Rail, or Trails and Rails. Trails and Rails comes in at $1.03 billion which, when compared to $5 and $6 billion projects on the mainland that only cover 5-7% of the distance, is very reasonable!

Restore Island Rail + Trails!

We need to tell our MLA's and MP's that we need this, because without it, how will we move people and products in the future as our population and economy grows?

Let's keep the momentum going.

Thank you for your dedication. It feels like we're winning doesn't it?
