A community meeting for B.C.’s first Poverty Reduction Strategy will take place in Terrace on Friday, Jan. 12, 2018.

People struggling with homelessness in Terrace will soon have access to new supportive housing thanks to a partnership between the B.C. government and the City of Terrace to develop a new modular-housing project in the community.

Work will begin in early spring 2018 to replace the Ksi Sii Aks (Tseax) River Bridge in the Nisga’a Territory, which will make the crossing safer and more efficient for motorists.

New transit services will start running on Nov. 20, 2017, connecting the northern communities of Terrace with the Hazelton area, as part of the B.C. government’s Highway 16 Transportation Action Plan.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is asking for feedback from Terrace, Thornhill and area residents on proposed improvements to the Highway 16/Highway 37 intersection between Terrace and Thornhill.

The Province is investing in community-based programs to help adult learners break barriers they face to building their future.

With the recent number of storms, high water and flood events in many areas of the Coast Mountains Natural Resource District, members of the public are reminded to use caution when driving on backcountry and forest service roads.
