In December 2000 concerned citizens formed the Revelstoke for a Safe Trans-Canada Highway organization. Our goal is simple - to convince Victoria and Ottawa that they must stop talking and start fixing the highway.

This part of Canada's national highway was finished in April 1962 and the Three Valley and Kicking Horse pass sections were not built to safety standards of the day. There have been no major improvements since then even though the amount of traffic now using this section of the highway is five times what it was almost 40 years ago. That includes not just family cars, but also heavy freight transports and tour buses.

We need a national highway that protects the lives of people using it. We need a Trans-Canada Highway designed to meet the traffic needs of today, not yesterday. Over the last 20 years, Revelstoke and other communities along this section of the highway have heard nothing but excuses from both Victoria and Ottawa. It is now time to fix the highway!

Please, take a few moments and look through this website. Then ask yourself which costs more: fixing the highway or adding to the number of dead and injured from accidents on the Trans-Canada.
