Getting Island Rail "Back On Track".
![]() Join us for a discussion with the VITCC (Vancouver Island Transportation Corridor Coalition) on the work they have done towards identifying the need for, and public interest in, reinstating Island Rail Service. The provincial government is quickly approaching a critical decision point and must provide an answer on the future of the island corridor by March 14, 2023. In this webinar VITCC President, Paul Robinson, will outline the benefits reinstating Island rail service including impacts on many of the socio-economic issues identified throughout the island, tourism, and greenhouse gas emissions. VITCC believes that rail is, by far, the most equitable mode of ground-based transportation as there are no age, health, ability, income impediments, and no requirements for vehicle operator ownership, licensing, and associated expenses. The VITCC is a non profit advocacy group who’s goal is to resurrect modern, efficient, and low-environmental-footprint rail service to Vancouver Island as the core of the Island's passenger and freight transportation system, integrated with other transportation modes. One which enables and supports diverse, inclusive, and sustainable community economic development and employment. |

Methane Emissions: Our Obligation and Our Opportunity in the Energy Transition
![]() The world has entered an energy transition where the future role of energy sources will depend partially on their greenhouse gas footprint. While that transition is expected to take a generation, some changes will occur quickly. One of the fastest ways to combat climate change is to reduce emissions of methane, not carbon dioxide. Methane is the main component of natural gas and a more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
