$500K Grant Provides Boost to Rail Trail

The Shuswap North Okanagan Rail Trail is receiving a $500,000 boost from the Provincial Active Transportation Infrastructure Grant Program to develop a section of the trail near the City of Armstrong.

"This important and timely grant funding is appreciated as it brings the total dollars raised very close to the amount needed to develop the entire Shuswap North Okanagan Rail Trail,” says Grahame Go, Chief Executive Officer of the Splatsin Development Corporation.

“Construction of the rail trail is starting this spring, and this additional support will ensure its success — leading to the preservation of Splatsin’s cultural assets and promotion of indigenous values, while simultaneously providing recreational and tourism economic opportunities for the region,” he added.
