The strategic vision and goals for the Shuswap North Okanagan Rail-Trail include the following:
- a commitment to work together cooperatively
- unfolding the true story within Secwepemc territory and promoting communication and strengthened relationships between Secwepemc & municipal/regional communities and residents
- the protection of sensitive environmental and cultural sites along the corridor
- creation of tourism and transportation benefits for the region
- revitalization of Splatsin culture and connections back to the land
- maximizing the recreational and economic potential of the corridor
- acknowledge agricultural values and the role of the Agricultural Land Commission
- maintaining a continuous corridor for both walking & cycling recreation (and active transportation) in the near term, and potential use as a flexible multi-modal transportation corridor in the future, for the joint benefit of all regions
- linking with the Okanagan Nation Territory and the Vernon-Kelowna rail-trail greenway and the Kelowna-to-Osoyoos greenway trail initiative in the south, in order to realize increased tourism value.
