Work on the Trail of the Okanagan international cycling network continues, despite the ongoing problems created by the new American presidency, with a recent virtual meeting held at the end of February.
The Trail of the Okanagans is named for the traditional trading route of the Syilx people that spanned the Okanagan Valley. This 6,000-year-old trail connected Syilx communities, important cultural locations and provided a ribbon of trade connecting the people of the Columbia River system to the people of the Fraser River.
The dream of a continuous, uninterrupted 370 km hiking and cycling trail from Sicamous to Brewster, Washington is closer to reality than ever before.
