Study underway on future of Alberni Valley Rail Corridor

Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD), Tseshaht First Nation, and Hupacasath First Nation are working together on a Rail Corridor Study, to develop a vision for the section of the Island Rail Corridor located within what is now known as the Alberni Valley region.

The study will consider opportunities for corridor use within the ACRD and for the entire rail corridor between Port Alberni and Nanaimo (including Duke Point area), as many improvement concepts, such as freight or passenger rail, would require the option to exist beyond the ACRD to be feasible.


“How the Island Rail Corridor can and should be used has been a long-standing point of discussion for communities across Vancouver Island, including those within the Alberni Valley. This specific study engages First Nations, impacted communities and interested groups to develop a shared common vision for the future of the corridor. We encourage people to consider and share their views through the lens of business/economic impacts, social, recreational, and cultural possibilities, as well as climate and environmental opportunities.”
- Daniel Sailland, Chief Administrative Officer, Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District


Project Overview

HDR Corporation (HDR), an engineering consulting firm, has been contracted by the three partners to conduct the Rail Corridor Study. The study will involve documenting the history of rail in the Alberni Valley, reviewing existing infrastructure conditions, identifying needs and opportunities for the corridor, and will culminate in the identification of a preferred option and accompanying business case and strategy for moving forward.


Working Together

ACRD, Tseshaht First Nation, and Hupacasath First Nation, by committing to work together, recognize the important role and contributions of all in creating a future plan for the region and understand that the work completed locally will feed into options considered for the entirety of the Island Rail Corridor.

The three partners recognize that the corridor and its future are important issues for the Alberni Valley region, and as a result, public engagement and consultation with stakeholder groups and the wider community are key components of the project and will inform the concepts/options/opportunities considered during the study.

As a result of the 2021 Court of Appeal for British Columbia decision and ensuing action by the Government of Canada and Province of BC, the lands upon which the rail corridor sits are being reverted to the First Nations whose territories the corridor transects.

Input from the Tseshaht and Hupacasath communities is vitally important, as partners in the Rail Corridor Study, as title holders to segments of rail corridor, and on whose traditional territory the rail line is located. Although general public outreach will occur across the Alberni Valley, specific outreach will occur with both the Tseshaht and Hupacasath Nations during all key consultation stages, using tools and approaches identified as most appropriate by the Nations.


The Rail Corridor Study will be completed between May 2024 and February 2025.

  • Share Are B.C. Transit being included in this working group? With new intercity bus transit services in place and growing between the regional districts of Victoria (CapitalRD) and Cowichan and Cowichan and Nanaimo, and now planning beginning about service between Port Alberni and Nanaimo, there is a natural opportunity for these services to utilize the railway mode of transport. I would highly recommend including in your research the comprehensive report on the need, feasibility, and cost of a B.C. wide intercity public transportation network.

    Hello! Good comments/considerations. And yes, these are the kinds of options and discussions the study will be considering as we move forward: looking at what the preferred use is for the corridor in the long term. We’ll be looking for the community’s feedback along the way too – we hope you’ll continue to participate.

    Happy go lucky asked 3 months ago

    Hello Happy Go Lucky: This study is funded by a grant from the Provincial Government who is looking for local insight about what the preferred use for the corridor is. Other regional districts on the Island are completing the same process. Refurbishment/repairs are of course an option – one that varies significantly based on what the line is to be used for - but the corridor is highly important as a connecting route, regardless of the transportation method it accommodates. A local plan that represents a shared vision for ACRD, Tseshaht and Hupacasath is a key step in planning for the local corridor’s future.
