Time is running out to sign a petition to restore the railway to Vancouver Island.

Restore Island Rail has the petition going with the government of Canada to restore the railway.

But the deadline to sign is shortly before 1030am Thursday, January 11, 2024.

The petition calls on the federal government to work with dedicated resources and with a nation-to-nation approach to reconcile and resolve long-standing First Nations’ concerns with certain sections of the Island Corridor.

It also calls for the creation of a $1 Billion fund using the various B.C. and Federal Government funding mechanisms for public Transit to guarantee funding to the Island Corridor foundation if approved for implementation.

To sign the petition, visit Restore Island Rail.
