VERNON, B.C. The fundraising campaign for the Okanagan Rail Trail is starting to gain some momentum.
Trail ambassador Brad Clements says just over 500-thousand dollars was raised in October, which was the goal of a matching campaign backed by a group of anonymous donors.
“As the campaign was set up to do, what ever is donated will be matched, so that’s going to turn into a million dollars raised for the trail in one month which is absolutely incredible,” says Clements.
He says early in the month, it didn’t look like the total would be reached.
“It took off slow, but it looks like in the second half of the month, after people got Thanksgiving out of the way, people went online and got their cheque books and credit cards out, and made a donation. We are absolutely thrilled,” Clements tells Kiss FM.
