The Province of British Columbia has added on to the funding pool for work on the next big trail project in Prince Rupert, announcing an additional 500,000 dollars for the Cloudberry Trail on Tuesday.
The funding part of a significant volume of funding towards tourism projects in British Columbia that saw 30 million dollars distributed province wide.
North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice noted of the vision for the trail and what it will bring to the community.
"Prince Rupert and the surrounding areas are home to some of the most spectacular plants, animals, and landscapes. While we live in a nature wonderland, ingress to trails and paths that allow us to maximize these benefits are limited. The Cloudberry Trail will make it so local people and tourists alike can access all the gifts Prince Rupert has to offer. I can't wait to see this project take off."
The project received some previous funding earlier this year and in the summer of 2022.
With the funding in hand, Kaien Trails today announced a call for proposals for the design and permitting of phase Two of the Trail.
