Discussion: Getting rail back on track on the Island

Join The Chamber for a discussion with the Vancouver Island Transportation Corridor Coalition and Island Corridor Foundation on the work done towards identifying the need for, and public interest in, reinstating Island Rail Service.
 
“The provincial government is quickly approaching a critical decision point and must provide an answer on the future of the Island corridor by March 14,” said coalition representative Paul Robinson, noting that reinstating Island rail service could help the Island’s tourism economy and get more vehicles off the roads. “VITCC believes that rail is, by far, the most equitable mode of ground-based transportation as there are no age, health, ability, income impediments, and no requirements for vehicle operator ownership, licensing, and associated expenses.”
 
The Chamber will be leading the discussion on rail as part of our role in The Island Chamber Advocacy Alliance, connecting business across the Island.
 
This free, virtual event is open to members of Chambers across Vancouver Island.
