Tom Barratt Ltd.

Tom Barratt Ltd is helping the community of Bella Coola to provide planning and public information for a multi use trail.

In an effort to help the community become safer, fitter and happier, Bella Coola Valley Health Services is committed to planning and developing a multiuse trail between Four Mile and Bella Coola townsites. The vision is a safe transportation trail (the shortest distance between two points), connecting the two sites where you can jog, walk, ride your bike, ride your scooter if you are disabled, rollerblade or push your baby carriage.

Active transportation provides people with increased mobility and thus an improved quality of life. Walkers and cyclists are more likely to meet and converse with each other creating a strong sense of community.

This new trail will offer residents and visitors a viable and attractive alternative to using their cars, and aims to encourage biking, walking, jogging or rolling.
