It has been a busy and successful year for Hoel Contracting with their recent completion of the E&N Rail Trail between Atkins Avenue and Savory School in the Capital Regional District (CRD). But the work doesn’t stop there. The CVRD recently awarded Hoel Contracting with a $300K contract to upgrade 5km of the Cowichan Valley Trail near Waters Road in Duncan.
“The Cowichan Valley Trail is a spectacular multi-use trail that is an integral part of the Trans Canada Trail route on Southern Vancouver Island. The Cowichan Valley section runs from the Capital Regional District boundary at the top of the Malahat, north to Shawnigan Lake and the Kinsol Trestle, west to the Town of Lake Cowichan then north to the Nanaimo Regional District” (CVRD, n.d.).
Trails provide a variety of benefits for those in our community. The recreational value and transportation benefit the trails provide aid in improving your fitness, health, and mental wellbeing. Furthermore, they provide access to natural wonders and historic sites while protecting the habitat of native plants and animals. One could even say that they effect community pride and identity positively while preserving historically significant transportation corridors.
The fast pace of life has more and more people looking for ways to unload their daily stress. As a result, property values tend to be higher in communities with proximity to trails as they provide a safe environment for families to get out and explore their beautiful surroundings.
The CRD and CVRD are committed to keeping our trails on Southern Vancouver Island in tip top shape. As a result, we will have more wonderful years exploring our beautiful surroundings.
Hoel Contracting is looking forward to the Cowichan Valley Trail Upgrade!
