Trail is a city in the West Kootenay region of the Interior of British Columbia set along the banks of the Columbia River, and is home to one of the largest lead zinc smelters in the world. There are considerable visitors annually to the area and therefore the City has been making every effort at redesigning the downtown core, improving lighting and making the city more energy efficient. Concrete was chosen due to the ability to direct bury and the fact that Stresscrete concrete has a lifetime warranty. Concrete poles do not rust.
