SUPPORT FOR PROVINCIAL INVESTMENT IN

RURAL CYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE GROWS

In early February, Island Pathways circulated a

resolution to all 159 municipalities and

regional districts in BC. Based on ourSalish Sea

Statements on Cycling & Rural Mobility, we

asked Mayors, Councilors, Trustees and

Directors to support provincial investment in

rural cycling infrastructure. And they have.

Weve heard from every corner of BC that

cycling is an important part of the local

transportation mix. Elected representatives

from more than thirty communities & districtshave supported the resolution:

Bowen Island, Chilliwack, Creston,

Cumberland, Denman, District of Mackenzie,

District of North Cowichan District of Wells,

Fernie, Fruitvale, Gabriola, Galiano, Gambier,

Gold River, Hornby, Kaslo, Ladysmith, Lasqueti

Lions Bay, Lumby, Mayne, Metchosin, North

Pender, North Saanich, Port Clements, Powell

River, Quesnel, Saturna, Salt Spring, Sidney,

South Pender Thetis, Tofino, and Vernon.

If your community has passed the resolution

and isnt listed or if youre interested in

showing local support, drop us an e-mail at:

Victoria, Vernon? Nope, its

community of just 4,300 is
