Masterplan being prepared for Okanagan Rail Trail
A master plan for the Okanagan Rail Trail is being developed to ensure a balanced approach is taken when it comes to protecting the environment.
The rail trail master plan will likely include enhancements such as new parks, trailheads and parking lots.
Since Nov. 5, the rail trail committee has been working diligently to continue to improve the quality of the trail, including installing way-finding signs, creating an event management policy as well as a new logo.
Climate change declaration delayed
The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) board members decided to delay moving forward with a motion to declare a climate emergency across the Central Okanagan.
The motion was originally put forward by Central Okanagan West regional director Wayne Carson, who said it was necessary to help protect the region’s economy, ecosystem and community from the impacts of global warming.
