With the 2026 Elections coming soon, it's time for us to get visible!  Check out our new Shopify Store where you can find wearables and carriables and our web store where you will find Bumper Stickers, Memberships and the ability to donate. 

We're raising money so we can help islanders select great candidates for Council and Mayors in all the municipalities on Vancouver Island during the 2026 general elections.  The type of councils that, like View Royal, are willing to show leadership by helping maintain the corridor free of vegetation so it looks better and ensures access for firefighting, minimizes dumping, and creates regular use that minimizes the potential for the homeless to see it as a place for encampments. The kind of councils that, like Nanaimo, ensure Transit hubs align with the corridor.  Most of all, it shows everyone how valuable this asset is to Vancouver Island's future!

Thank you for standing with us to protect and improve the Island Rail Corridor!  Get visible and ask questions of candidates.  Let them know how much rail travel on Vancouver Island means to you.
