South Fraser Community Rail BC Transit
By Thomas Cheney, Rail for the Valley, Chilliwack Chapter
In 1910, Premier Richard McBride drove the last spike of the British Columbia Electric Railway finally providing a convenient connection between the Fraser Valley and Vancouver. Beyond being a ribbon of steel, it brought the new technology of electricity to the hinterland.

Today, the old interurban line could again bring advanced technology and transportation options to Bradner and the rest of the Fraser Valley. The Rail for the Valley and South Fraser Community Rail initiatives together present plans to connect Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack with zero-emission hydrogen trains. This avoids the costs of electrifying the line while allowing British Columbia to showcase its excellence in the hydrogen and fuel cell sector. With over 1.2 million people currently living in the South Fraser region, a new solution, community rail is needed.

Country Kids is accepting registrations for Summer & Boot Camps for July and August 2016. Register your kids today! These camps were very popular last summer. Lets get the word out there for great turn out again this year!

Country Kids Preschool & Out of School Care is a licensed childcare facility located in the heart of Mt Lehman (across from Mt Lehman Elementary School). They offer summer and spring break programs during the holidays, and Preschool, Before & After School and Pro-D day childcare during the school year.

Because Bradner Elementary has no options for childcare, Country Kids Preschool owner Carryl Peters wants Bradner parents to know that it's possible that a private shuttle bus program be started to and from Bradner - IF there is enough enrolment. Get in touch with Carryl today and let her know if you're interested!

Fraser Valley Express to Link Abbotsford, Chilliwack & Langley

2/22/2015

By Heather Lemieux, Editor - The Bradner Barker

On April 6th, 2015, the Fraser Valley Regional District will launch the Fraser Valley Express (FVX), that will provide transit services between Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Langley BC. The FVX (Route 66 Fraser Valley Express), will connect four independent transit systems: Central Fraser Valley, TransLink, Chilliwack and Agassiz-Harrison.

The Fraser Valley Express is a partnership between the FVRD, BC Transit, the City of Abbotsford and the City of Chilliwack. Open houses were held in September 2014 at various locations in the Fraser Valley. More planning regarding schedules, routes, fees and expansions will be discussed in the coming months.
 
There will be a total of six (6) express stops along the FVX route. 
  • Carvolth Exchange - Bay 13 (Langley)
  • Highstreet Shopping Centre Park & Ride (Abbotsford) 
  • McCallum Park & Ride (Abbotsford) 
  • Lickman Park & Ride (Chilliwack) 
  • Vedder at Luckakuck (Chilliwack) 
  • Downtown Chilliwack 

At first, plans did not include a FVX stop at Highstreet Shopping Centre at the Mt. Lehman interchange because of the complex configuration of the road system in that area, but a survey showed a high demand for the service to Highstreet. 

The FVX will operate seventeen (17) total round trips on weekdays. The first trip will depart Downtown Chilliwack at 5:15am and the last trip will leave Carvolth Exchange (Langley) at 9:05pm. On Saturdays there will be 4 round trips with the first trip departing Downtown Chilliwack at 9:00am and the last trip leaving Carvolth Exchange (Langley) at 6:30pm.  The FVX schedule is subject to change pending final analysis. The final FVX schedule will be available online prior to the April 6th, 2015 launch.

The City of Abbotsford, Chilliwack and BC Transit will each pay for part of the service. Abbotsford's projected share is $411,897, Chilliwack's at $233,709 and BC Transit will contribute $704,813.
