Almost 450 kilometres of highways and side roads in B.C.’s southern Interior will be upgraded to provide better driving surfaces for residents, travellers and goods movement.

People can now enjoy upgraded trails, more parking and easier access to two provincial parks in the Okanagan: Sun-Oka Beach Park near Summerland and Kalamalka Lake Park in Coldstream.

People living in Vernon and surrounding communities will benefit from increased access to team-based care as planning progresses on a second urgent and primary care centre (UPCC).

People looking for skills training and job opportunities in mental-health and addictions care are now able to access free education and paid work experience in the sector.

BC Hydro will invest nearly $6 billion in capital projects across B.C.’s southern Interior over the next decade to expand the electricity grid, and upgrade its infrastructure to ensure a continued, reliable supply of clean power across the region.
