The B.C. Appeal Court had set Tuesday as the deadline for the federal government to decide whether it would support a proposed new modern rail system on the corridor lands running between Victoria and Courtenay.
The federal and provincial governments say 10-plus acres taken from the Snaw-Naw-As First Nation in the early 1900s for the now closed E&N rail line will be returned.
The court had set Tuesday as the deadline for the federal government to decide whether it would support a proposed new modern rail system on the corridor lands running between Victoria and Courtenay. Removing that chunk of the corridor land means that if a rail system or other uses proceed, an alternate route would need to be found. The possibility of changing the historic route of the corridor has been raised in past discussions.
“Our government understands and supports the need for a reconciliation-based approach when considering the future of the Island rail corridor,” B.C. Transportation Minister Rob Fleming said in statement.
