“ The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce recommends that, in the event that the Vernon - Kelowna railway cannot be retained for use as an active railway, that the Federal, Provincial and Municipal (Local) governments take the necessary steps to ensure that the rail corridor be secured for non-rail uses to benefit communities in the valley. “ motion passed by the Chamber Board. The Kelowna Chamber of Commerce recognizes that there are many interested voices hoping to see the rail corridor be retained for a trail between Vernon and Kelowna, and also appreciates that local governments may have perspectives and opportunities that could see portions of the land incorporated into longer term municipal development plans. We are encouraging all levels of government to collaboratively identify how we can gain ownership of the corridor and look forward to participating in future public planning processes.
