‘Strategically important’: Feds weighing $431M Vancouver Island Rail Corridor future - Comox Valley Record

Rail return could be Island’s needed transportation alternative: corridor foundation

The federal government has until March 14 to decide whether it will fund infrastructure on a contested corridor segment that runs through a Nanoose-area First Nation. That Court of Appeal-imposed deadline was the result of a lawsuit launched by Snaw-Naw-As First Nation, which has maintained the land was wrongly taken from them in 1912 and claimed it wasn’t being used for railway purposes.

The community brought the suit forward after the passenger service ended in 2011, causing the line to deteriorate in the decade since. Two rulings sided with Canada and the ICF, which committed to restoring the entire corridor if it could secure funding. But the court will let the First Nation revive their suit if the feds don’t provide funding or come to a decision by the deadline.
