The Capital Regional District is calling on the federal and provincial governments to settle land claims with Indigenous groups in an effort to revive Vancouver Island's rail corridor.
In a news release Thursday, the CRD board announced its support for the Island Corridor Foundation's call to settle the land claims to advance rail travel as a transportation option on the island.
The 295-kilometre rail corridor is owned by the non-profit foundation, which has long advocated to restore rail service along the former Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway route.
