RESURGENCE OF DOWNTOWN TRAIL

Trail Downtown With the technology businesses, health clinics, public health unit, School District office, growing financial services companies, and a completely renovated movie theatre, Trail’s downtown is being revitalized. Growing engineering companies, FortisBC’s new customer service centre and new national retailers have reinvigorated the downtown. The City of Trail undertook an attractive riverfront improvement program. Also, the superb “communities in bloom” program has been a tremendous success with Trail being awarded 5 blooms in 2007 and winning the National title in 2006. The flowerbeds and plantings are absolutely gorgeous.
