Information

The Vermilion Trails Society, incorporated in August 1998, is the steward of a section of the Trans Canada Trail between Brookmere and Osprey Lake, BC. This part of the Trail follows the abandoned right of way of the historic Kettle Valley Railway.

The Trans Canada Trail is not only a legacy for present and future generations, it provides recreational and tourism opportunities for the local communities. Developing and maintaining the Trail is the key to fulfilling that potential.

One goal of the Trans Canada Trail project is for government to work in partnership with local communities. The Province, as the primary landowner, has committed to negotiate with local and regional governments, as well as local societies, to allocate stewardship of the Trail lands where appropriate. Trail stewardship focuses on providing safe passage for trail users, and includes Trail restoration, drainage work, bank and ballast stabilization, and provision of facilities. Stewardship may also allow for trestles or other structures to be restored.

This is a community effort made possible by the dedication of many volunteers and supporters in our area. They are proud to be involved in a legacy of caring for our multi-use portion of the Trans Canada Trail.
