Provincial budgets are shaped by the priorities people speak up about.  One submission helps. Hundreds of submissions make a statement.  Thousands can shape the future! 
Add the Vancouver Island Railway to your submission!

Here's a template:

"Fund restoration of the Vancouver Island Railway as critical transportation, economic, food security, climate resilience, and emergency response infrastructure. Rehabilitating the Island Rail Corridor will reconnect communities, support freight and passenger service, reduce highway congestion, strengthen wildfire response capabilities, and unlock sustainable growth for generations of Islanders."

A restored railway can improve transportation options, support local businesses and farmers, strengthen emergency response and wildfire resilience, reduce highway congestion, and create long-term economic opportunities.

Take a few minutes to tell the BC Legislature that Vancouver Island rail should be included in the 2027 budget. The more voices they hear, the harder it is to ignore.

Remember, the corridor is already ours. Now we need the investment to put it back to work.

Petitioner,
Warren Skaalrud
