This report looks into whether the Selkirk College, Castlegar BC Campus would be an appropriate location for an accessible trail. It researches the supply and demand of accessible trails in the Castlegar area, and if the college campus grounds are suitable for such a trail. IT gathers information from regional districts and municipalities to determine the supply and uses data from the 2016 Canada Census as well as data from the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction to better understand the population dynamics, and statistics for people who have a disability in the West Kootenay Region. It used digital mapping to find suitable areas for an accessible trail and identified two possibilities. One possibility is an already excising trail that is 900m and would need upgrading to the surface material, and the other is a combination of upgrading existing trail and building new trail that would total 1450m.
