Winn Rentals in Kelowna would like other businesses in the Okanagan construction industry to join them in supporting the Okanagan Rail Trail, and to take advantage of the October donation matching.
Early in the fundraising campaign, Winn Rentals donated $5,000 to the rail trail.
Having supported the Mission Creek Greenway, the KVR rail trail and Friends of the South Slopes, it was an easy choice to contribute towards the future rail trail between Kelowna and Vernon," said co-owner Brad Gretzinger, a long-time mountain biker, who along with his wife Karen, have biked extensively around the region.
