Todd Stone, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, released the following statement on community support and Prince George’s decision to help fund inter-community transit service along the Highway 16 corridor:

The British Columbia government is taking action to ensure insurance rates are affordable and in line with inflation.

British Columbia is full of opportunities and unforgettable recreational experiences. But to safely enjoy this province, everyone venturing out into the wilderness has the responsibility of adequately preparing for the trip.

Environment Canada has issued special weather advisories for several regions of the province for extremely cold temperatures and arctic outflows causing strong winds combined with snowfall.

The Motor Coach Safety Review, which found that the motor coach industry in British Columbia is safe and compares well to other provinces across the country, was released by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians are advised of upcoming rock excavation work adjacent to the Trans-Canada Highway and the Galloping Goose Trail west of the McKenzie Avenue/Admirals Road intersection, and to expect delays during this time.
