Call to Support Vancouver Island Railway Preservation

infrastructure · Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands

A call was made to the community to support efforts to save the Vancouver Island Railway by contacting Members of Parliament. The establishment of a modern train route on an existing corridor with federal government help is promoted as beneficial for Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
