Construction of the remaining section of the Shuswap North Okanagan Rail Trail is moving ahead following long-awaited approvals from the Agricultural Land Commission.
The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) said the construction will be led by Yucwmenlúcwu (Caretakers of the Land) LLP, a subsidiary of Splatsin Development Corporation (SDC), and will begin immediately.
According to the CSRD, the owners of the trail will continue to collaborate with farmers to finalize access permits or easements for those interested.
“All existing agricultural crossings will be incorporated into the construction of the rail trail, regardless of whether an easement or permit is in place,” the CSRD stated.
Work will continue throughout the season if weather conditions allow
