If you haven’t done so, please take 1 minute for this!

Great News! As of today 5,814 people have sent in their message of support. The benefits of protecting this corridor are many, including providing safe bicycle access access to UBCO (picture shows Hwy 97 rail underpass). A detailed study of all benefits will be completed this month.
In an effort to help gain more support, we have added some resources to the website (http://www.okanaganrailtrail.ca/resources.php) to help explain the benefits. The benefits study will be posted here when completed. There is also a flyover presentation of images taken from an airplane of the railway (thanks to a volunteer with flying and photography skills). It is well worth checking to see the magnitude of the beauty of this corridor.

As of today no operator for the railway has provide a feasible plan to continue operations of the railway. There are only 3 more weeks before this period ends and the offer to governments begins. Please continue to spread the word and have people visit the website http://www.okanaganrailtrail.ca to send their message of what future they would like see here in the Okanagan.

Sincerely,
Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative
