The chief of the nation that filed a court case in hopes of winning its land back from the railway right-of-way says there is no business case to re-invest in the corridor
The former E&N railway has served its purpose and now it’s time to explore other opportunities instead of spending nearly a billion dollars to repair the line and tens of millions in annual operating costs, says the chief of the Nanoose First Nation — the same nation that filed a court case in hopes of winning its land back from the railway right-of-way.
The right-of-way that cuts through Snaw-Naw-As lands was granted to the former E&N Railway in 1912 to create the rail line. Today, the Island Corridor Foundation, made up of regional districts and First Nations, holds the land. The report follows engagement last fall with 14 First Nations, some of which are making plans for alternative use of lands now held by the Island Corridor Foundation if rail service is not restored. Some nations are also interested in a joint or partial ownership of a new rail service, the report said.
The engagement process heard from First Nations open to non-rail transportation use because of potential environmental benefits, but views on the best possible use vary.
