The Capital Regional District is developing a Regional Trails Plan for Galiano, Mayne, North and South Pender, Salt Spring and Saturna Islands. The Regional Trails Plan will help foster tourism, recreation, active transportation, and economic development on the islands by setting a direction for the development of a regional trail on each of the six islands. The Regional Trails Plan complements the Experience the Gulf Islands initiative, and once developed, the trails will provide infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists to travel between ferry terminals and some key recreation, tourism and commercial areas on the islands. The CRD is hosting open houses on each of the islands to gather input on preferred route options and priorities before drafting the plan. You are welcome to drop in at any of the open houses to learn more and provide comments. You can also review the information and provide feedback online until Friday, March 31, 2017 at 4:30pm.
