'''* Horseshoe Bay to Whistler Trail *'''

The District of West Vancouver has been pushing forward the idea of a multi-use trail connecting Horseshoe Bay to Whistler. This trail offers the opportunity of a longer-distance connection between the two communities, and also has significant implications for tourism and recreation. HUB Cycling wrote a letter jointly with BCCC to Minister Popham to support this trail concept.
