Columbia & Western Community Society

You can help

As a non-profit society, we rely on the dedicated efforts of our volunteers, residents, and Industry partners. Without their continuous involvement and hard work, Rail Grade development, maintenance, safety, and education would never have become a reality. If you are interested in volunteering with the organization, please contact us and we will be happy to speak to you further on volunteer opportunities that suit your skills. As a not-for-profit organization, we are always happy to receive donations from individuals or corporations who support our mandate and activities. We would like to encourage all Rail Grade users to become members of the Columbia and Western Community Society. Your support is vital for the continued development and maintenance of the Rail Grade.
