A company serving Kelowna's construction industry wants others in the Okanagan to step up and help build the Rail Trail.

Early in the fundraising campaign, Winn Rentals donated $5,000 to the trail, which will stretch from Kelowna to Coldstream. 

“The rail trail will be a great community amenity that will benefit many businesses, not only the tourism industry”, says Brad Gretzinger, co-owner of Winn Rentals. "The construction industry is booming right now, and the rail trail will be one more amenity that influences decisions to relocate and build in the Okanagan.”  

Gretzinger is calling on other businesses in the industry to take advantage of the matching donations in October.

“Now is the perfect time to make your donation go further, and help ensure that trail work begins next spring,” he said. 

The company has in the past supported the Mission Creek Greenway, the KVR rail trail and Friends of the South Slopes.
