The provincial government is committed to leading and supporting actions to end violence against Indigenous women and girls.

Based on support from communities across the Capital Regional District, including Langford, Victoria, Esquimalt and View Royal, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will look at options around using the E&N rail line for transit services between Langford and Victoria West.

Burns Lake, Prince George, and Smithers will soon receive new inter-community transit service, which is made possible through the B.C. government’s $5-million Highway 16 Transportation Action Plan.

The construction tender to extend the northbound bus lane along Douglas Street to Saanich Road has been posted on BC Bid. Work is anticipated to start this spring.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is congratulating the City of Prince George for committing five years of funding towards the transit component of the B.C. government’s Highway 16 Transportation Action Plan.

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 northern community of Smithers, through a partnership with Moricetown, is the first to sign on for inter-community BC Transit service, which is made possible through the B.C. government’s $5-million Highway 16 Transportation Action Plan and local government partners.
