Westbank First Nation is preparing an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) to better connect WFN lands with West Kelowna and regional routes, and propose new infrastructure that will increase ease for human powered transportation. Active transportation is any form of human powered transportation, including walking, biking, skateboarding, using a motorized wheelchair etc. The plan will identify improvements to existing facilities and recommend new paths, sidewalks, and bike lanes.

WFN gathered survey feedback in the Spring of 2019. Based on community feedback, draft recommendations for future programs and policies have been suggested. Residents were asked to rate the recommendations based on their level of importance.
