“BikeBC is about building connected, healthy communities,” Premier Christy Clark said. “If you give people more ways to get around to work, play, and exercise, they’ll take advantage of those opportunities – especially in a beautiful place like the Okanagan Rail Trail.”
This funding announcement brings the provincial government’s contribution to the Okanagan Rail Trail project to $8.45 million.
BikeBC is the Province’s cost-sharing program for communities wanting to cycling projects.
