Plans are in motion to explore improved transit service for the Sea to Sky corridor – a growing region that the B.C. government has identified as a priority area for expansion.

The provincial government is providing $435,000 to Carbon Engineering Ltd. to support an engineering study that will assess the potential and feasibility of using carbon dioxide (CO₂) “scrubbed” out of the air at its direct-air capture demonstration plant in Squamish to produce synthetic diesel or gasoline fuel.

Drivers can expect heavy traffic and possible delays on the Sea to Sky Highway 99 between Horseshoe Bay, Squamish and Whistler as festival attendees make their way to and from the Squamish Music Festival, which will run Aug. 6-9, 2015.

Mark those calendars! The questions Squamish has about liquefied natural gas (LNG) will be answered on the ground as the Province of British Columbia's LNG energy seminar makes a visit.

Drivers can expect heavy traffic and some delays along Highway 99 from Aug. 7-11, as concert goers make their way to the Squamish Music Festival which runs Aug. 8-10.

As the nights get colder and longer, more people are lighting their fireplaces to help stay warm. But do you know where your firewood comes from? Was it legally harvested?
