Description
The Capital Regional District (CRD) is responsible for the planning, operation and maintenance of regional trails within the capital region. As identified in the Gulf Islands Regional Trails Plan (2018), the first regional trail segment to be developed in the Gulf Islands was Phase 1 of the Mayne Island Regional Trail. This 2.3 km bike and pedestrian trail was developed between Village Bay and Miners Bay village. The CRD’s Engineering Services and Regional Parks divisions oversaw the development of the trail. Construction began in November of 2022 and was completed in October 2024.
The Gulf Islands Regional Trail Plan prioritizes regional trail development in a phased approach with an initial segment of trail developed on each island. The 2.3 km segment of Mayne Island Regional Trail was identified as a pilot project to inform future regional trail development on the Gulf Islands.
