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. Click here to read what we've written on the rail 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.

CBWS Reports: Case Studies and Best Practices



CBWS gathers information on "best practices", organizes workshops and conducts local site audits to develop specific recommendations aimed at improving conditions for cycling and walking. Our "CBWS Reports Page" includes our own projects and contributions from other sources. Watch for regular additions to our library of reports, papers and presentations.



CBWS projects are supported by grants from VanCity, the City of Victoria, Saanich, View
Royal, the Provincial Capital Commission, the Province of BC, Translink, Mountain
Equipment Coop and private funders. Support for this project does not necessarily imply
VanCity’s or other sponsor endorsement.
