A plethora of groups will be discussing ways to make highway travel safer and more practical at an upcoming meeting.
A “Transportation Symposium” will sit members of the First Nations Health Authority, the Ministry of Transportation and 23 First Nations together to plan better travelling options along Highway 16.
The meeting will include talks of both recreational and medical travelling.
FNHA C.O.O. Richard Jock says, “safe and affordable medical transportation for First Nations along the Highway 16 corridor” is the group’s top priority.
Residents can share their stories and concerns in a survey released today by the FNHA.
The symposium will be held in Smithers on November 24th.
