People in northwestern B.C. are a step closer to getting public health care in modern surroundings as construction begins on a new hospital in Terrace.

Students are not the only ones to benefit from three major construction projects at Coast Mountain College.

Construction crews started work this week on a project to build new deceleration and acceleration lanes on Highway 37 South near Williams Creek, which will help park visitors safely and conveniently access Lakelse Lake Provincial Park.

Construction crews will start work next week to repave two sections of the Nisga’a Highway (Highway 113), making the drive safer and smoother for people travelling along these stretches.

Families in Terrace will have access to more than a hundred new licensed child care spaces as part of the Province’s ongoing commitment to increase child care through the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

Starting Monday, July 27, 2020, Emil Anderson Maintenance Co. Ltd. will assume highway maintenance in the Skeena region (Service Area 26).

The roundabout at the intersection of highways 16 and 37 between Terrace and Thornhill is officially complete.
