Island Corridor Fondation (ICF)
The Island Corridor Foundation (ICF) was incorporated in early 2004, signaling a partnership of unprecedented magnitude between the Regional Districts and First Nations. In December 2004, the Foundation was granted registered charity status. As a charity, ICF will be able to issue tax receipts for gifts received from organizations and individuals.
The ICF is focused on the long term sustainability of rail transportation on Vancouver Island and is raising funds for the upgrade of rail lines along the entire corridor.
