Work is expected to begin later this summer on a project to resurface two sections of Highway 97 in the areas of 100 Mile House and Lac La Hache, which will benefit residents, businesses and the community with a safer and smoother travelling surface.

Building on the economic benefits and jobs created by getting to yes on major projects and provincial investments in infrastructure, Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett today announced immediate investments and a long-term action plan outlined in B.C.’s rural economic development strategy that will create jobs and economic opportunities in Cariboo-Chilcotin.

A major four-lane expansion of Highway 97 between 74 Mile to 76 Mile is now complete.

Invasive species aren't just pesky weeds that invade lawns and gardens.

The Province will spend $4 million to expand livestock fencing in B.C. as part of a partnership with the BC Cattleman's Association.

Seniors in 100 Mile House and throughout the province will benefit as 27 communities receive grants of up to $20,000 to help create programs or tools that address the needs of their older residents.
