Drivers are advised that the Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge on Highway 9 will require two closures of 20 minutes each during the night on Monday, February 25, for seismic and safety upgrade work.

Under the BC Rural Dividend Program, the Government of British Columbia is providing $100,000 each to the District of Kent and Skawahlook First Nation for two projects that will support community sustainability and outdoor recreation opportunities, Doug Donaldson, Minister of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development, announced today.

The public is invited to attend a community open house and participate in a discussion about the 2018 gypsy moth spray program in Agassiz.

The public is invited to attend a drop-in information session about upcoming improvements to Highway 7 and Highway 9 in Agassiz.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure has awarded a $3.7-million contract to Tybo Contracting Ltd. to carry out the Rosedale Overhead seismic upgrade, along with cycling and pedestrian improvements to the crossing.

Design work is underway for a Highway 9 shoulder enhancement and resurfacing project that will provide a safer, smoother and more efficient ride for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Both the Rosedale overhead and the Agassiz-Rosedale bridge structures will be improved with seismic and safety retrofits to ensure the Highway 9 corridor is kept safe and reliable.

The world is changing and B.C. students need to be ready to adapt to the careers of tomorrow. Students in the Fraser-Cascade School District will be prepared thanks to $22,500 in provincial funding awarded to the district, helping to connect kids with opportunities in skilled trades and tech training.
