E&N Rail Trail - Take Action
You can help turn the E&N Rail Trail into reality. Write your local council and the CRD to tell them you support the trail.
Send a letter to your MP or MLA and let them know that this is an important project that will need federal and provincial
funding to make it happen. Use our “E&N Rail Trail briefing note” to help make points about why it is important to you.
Join our postcard campaign – pick one up at Victoria area bike stores and send it to Capital Bike and Walk. We’re gathering
postcards to show that people care about this project. We need to convince governments at all levels that the rail trail
should be an investment priority.
