Who we are
Donate
A charitable tax receipt is provided for each donation made to the NRRT. Funds are held in trust by the Island Corridor Foundation for the construction of rail trail along the corridor. Donors can choose to earmark their donation towards a specific section of trail or can have their funds go towards to next section to be built as prioritized by the Partnership. If you are interested in donating monthly or giving a one-time donation click "Make a Donation". Please contact us at info@nanaimoregionrailtrail.ca for other donation options.

Dear Mayor and Council,
I am writing to encourage you to prioritize the funding of the Nanaimo Region Rail Trail in the city budget and when applying for grants. As we make the shift away from motor vehicle reliance and lower carbon emission it is imperative that we provide safe alternatives to taking our cars. Getting people on the trail also leads to healthier more active citizens. Trails make cycling more accessible to people of all ages, abilities and income levels.
The City has already built half of the required trail and I urge you to make the funding of the E&N Trail one of the City’s top transportation and recreation priorities once again.
