Mayor James Baker says residents need to make an informed decision using accurate and credible information.

In an open letter, Baker discusses how CN is responsible for remediation costs of removal, infrastructure upgrades will not be impacted by this project and the land will be transferred in fee simple.

On Saturday, April 25, residents will vote whether borrow more than $2.5 million to help fund the $22 million pedestrian and bicycle corridor on an old CN rail line linking Kelowna to Coldstream. The money, and approval of local residents, is one of the final steps needed after the government said they would spend more than $7 million on the project if the ‘yes’ side wins.
